Abstract

A six year old Senepol cow was presented to the Department of Rural Practice, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tennessee in March, 1988 because of reproductive failure. According to the history, she had her first calf in July 1984 and a second one in July 1986. Both were born healthy but died later of accidental influences. The cow was flushed as an embryo transfer donor, without success, approximately two months after delivering her second calf. As no estrous was observed after the flushing attempt, the cow was turned out with a bull for pasture breeding. The bull was never seen mounting the cow.
