When's the optimal time to Lutalyse a cow to get her to abort? I want to abort the cows I know got bred yesterday by the neighbor's bull.

Thanks in advance for any advice :D .

Before 100 days of pregancy at least. Any time before that but the earlier the better.
 
(3) Induce Abortion In Cattle From 5 To 130 Days Of Gestation
Up to day 70, abortion usually occurs in less than 4 days; between days 70 and 130 in less than 7 days, but beyond day 130 less than 60 percent may abort within 3 weeks. Injected heifers should be kept under surveillance and given assistance if necessary.

Hey Wyoming Rancher,

You might try asking a question at the CSU Beef Team website, here's a link. Good Luck, it's always fun having extra work to do. :roll:

If she got exposed yesterday, wait 9 days, 5cc lut and breed her when she cycles, Had donor get exposed and flushed 21 good embroys on just that schedule
 
I was told as soon as possible so my information conflicts what other posts have mentioned. I have used Lutlayse after a month or two and have bad resluts. 3 cows not calving for another year. Hate that drug others love it to death. I would of been much better getting A CALF than none at all.
 
Thanks everyone for your advice :D .

To be safe, I may just hook them up to a slow-drip Lutalyse IV, just to be sure they abort :lol: . One can never be too thorough :wink: :D .
 
I understand what you are dealing with. I started AI last week. The neighbors bull was out on the road at 7 am in the morning. I called and told them for some odd known reason the man put his bull in my pasture opened the pasture gate to make through two of my pastures sure he bred two of my cows I was to AI that night.
I put the bull out after and angry evening. And moved my cows one more pasture over from from where the bull was to be at that's two pastures away.
The next morning the bull was back again put in again this time by the owners hired man. They said they did not have time to fix road fence. Not the dividing pasture fence but the road between them. After I penned my cows up the entire next all day from the bull as the bull could go any dam where he wanted. Any of the three pastures.They came over and put him the next afternoon. I did not have the heart to tell them I had put him back twice and they put him in with my cows twice. In our friendly discussion. Come to find out the bulls owner had wanted to rent the pasture I was on. Because he second wife's half brother was born there. He is 85 years old.
After I set the trailer down and the portable chute he has not been back for a whole week.
We all have problems with neighbors bulls and fences BUT when its a man made problem I get a little hotter than normal.
 
Lute is only effective when the cow has a CL... you'll have to wait about 7 days before Lute will work. Would suggest doing it on day 7 and not waiting longer; I saw a really messed up cow who was given Lutalyse about day 75 of pregnancy. Damaged cervix, uterine adhesions, etc.

Works to shoot the bull in the back foot tends to hamper their breeding plans.

Bulls will be bulls.......the most problems we've had were with the idiot owners.......We've had to lutalyse 100 PB cows because of bulls being allowed to run (almost at large!)........was tempted to shoot the owner! :mad: Our vet offered to invoice the lutalyse to the guy but I declined ......told him I'd rather take it out of the guy's hide instead! :shock:
