[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 944501, member: 1974"] Buy the needles & vacuum tubes from a livestock supply place, if you can use 100. You'll pay quite a bit more in smaller quantities from the places that do the test, at least that's what I've found. We're testing next Saturday, the 18th. Any cow testing positive will calve by the end of April. We'll pull the bull and any cow not testing positive will be retested in 4 weeks. That narrows down a calving timeframe, and will allow culling this summer instead of waiting until the fall for that decision. We did have 2 cows not calve this summer when expected. They tested positive to calve in June. They are bagging now and look like they'll calve with the fall cows in early Sep. It's not 100% reliable, but neither is vet checking; a cow can slip a pregnancy for different reasons after testing positive. [/QUOTE]
