No. A heifer should only be given a shot of Lute when you decide to wean her and her sisters/half-sisters to get them to abort if you suspect they are in calf. A shot of estrumate or lutalyse lasts only short-term (i.e., around 24 hours) and should be used wisely, not as a means to prevent a calf from getting bred too early and in the notion that it will last until 9 months post-weaning. It's also unwise to give a heifer calf a shot when they're really young, like less than a month old, because it's simply ineffective if given at that age and actually may force that calf to start puberty much earlier than you intended.
So, it's much more ideal to give all your heifers a shot of Lute or Estrumate at weaning and/or when you're vaccinating and dehorning them, just to be safe.

When do you separate calf from bulls?
This question is asked in quite an awkward manner: are you asking about separating young calves (or a young calf) from a herd of bulls, or about separating heifer calves from the bull calves in your herd? Or are you asking about something entirely which wasn't put across very clearly in this question? I'm assuming that you are referring to the middle question: separating heifer calves from the bull calves. The best time to do that is at weaning, which is around 6 to 8 months for a beef herd. When you process your heifers, make sure you give them a shot of lute (or a similar injectable hormone) to make any unknown-pregnant heifers abort, particularly if your herd is highly fertile and the heifers and bulls have hit puberty before they've been weaned, which happens more often than you might think. As for the first question, the calf should be separated from the bull herd immediately, particularly if it's a young animal and needs its dam. A bull that doesn't know what a calf is will physically abuse that calf with the intentions to do harm or even kill. Even though some herd bulls can be great with calves, this isn't true for all of them. This is partly why many producers choose to remove their herd bulls from the cow-herd before the cows start calving.

Can a 500 lb heifer become pregnant?
She could if she has the genetics of really good fertility. But she shouldn't, that's the problem. A 500 lb heifer, even if she's a Jersey heifer, is too young to be bred, and too light. If she's a Jersey, then she should be weighing around 700 lbs and be at least 14 months of age before she can be bred. Beef heifers that weigh 500 lbs are WAY too young to be bred. They shouldn't be exposed to a bull until they're at least 14 to 16 months of age, or are 60% of the weight of the main cow herd. Give her an injection of Estrumate or Lute to abort her NOW. It's far less expensive to give her a shot to abort her than it is to have a vet do a C-section on her and you having to spend the money to bottle-raise her calf.

What to do for a cow that's had a calf but has no milk?
Try to give her a kick-start by giving her a shot of Oxytocin (or an injectible hormone that is similar to encourage milk production) to help encourage her to start producing milk. If that isn't effective, cull her. I hope you are bottle-feeding the calf at this time, because the calf is more important now than the cow.

Was the calf being born scene in city slickers real?
In a poignant scene where a cow gives birth to a calf, both a real and fake cow were used. A real cow lying on her side was filmed in a medium distance shot. Then, in extreme close-up, a fake cow, designed by special effects, was used. A non-toxic gel was applied to a six-day-old calf, then the character Mitch pulled the calf out of the fake cow. (Mitch forms a special bonding with this calf, whom he names Norman). This scene was accomplished in one take. The young calf was kept warm with blankets and heaters and bottle fed.

Can a B negative mother and O positive father have a baby or will her body reject the baby during development?
My husband and I faced almost this same dilemma, though I am A negative. Tell your doctor. They will tell you what to do, but their instructions will probably be: If you spot (bleed a little), go to the ER. They will give you a shot of antibodies. You should be fine. Also, they will give you the same shot at 28 wks pregnant and also within 72 hours of having the baby. If you follow these precautions, you should be fine.
