How to Tell when a Cow or Heifer is in Estrus. Estrus is defined as the period where a female (in this case, a cow or heifer) is receptive to a male (or, the bull). Estrous, on the other hand, is the whole reproductive heat cycle that a female goes through, from heat period to no heat period (Proestrus, Estrus, Metestrus, and Diestrus).
The estrus (or heat) cycle. Reproduction in non-human mammals is regulated by an estrus cycle. In sheep, the length of the estrus cycle ranges from 13 to 19 days and averages 17 days. The phases of the estrous cycle are proestrus, estrus, metestrus, and diestrus. Estrus is the period of time when the ewe is receptive to the ram and will stand for mating. It lasts approximately 24 to 36 hours.
