So I know nuthin' from nuthin' about cows, but at this time year I wouldn't
expect anything to be going into heat. :-)
Do twins not reproduce normally?
Cheers,

I've got a Guernsey heifer. She was a year old in October, so 14 months

I'm not sure that she's showing heat. I've seen a couple of times that I
think she might be showing, but nothing for sure. No discharge, no clear
riding ion or by the steers.
Should I be worried? Unfortunately, getting a vet out here is probably not
going to happen.
The cows that I had a couple of years a go, one you could hardly ever tell
when she was in heat and the other would be riding everyone else and then
out on the hill bellowing for a bull.
