Jared, I know the feeling! I have 10 reg. charolais and last spring the neighbors squatty angus bull came through the fence to breed on of my cows. Most vet's need about 30-45 days before they can tell if the cow settled. You could give the cow a shot of lutalace (spelling is not guaranteed not correct) ha ha.. Anyway, that will make her abort. The only problem is, I have used that on a heifer to make her abort and it took a while for her to cycle again so I ended up with a real late calf.
