[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1842594, member: 38038"] I enrolled in an ABS class about 40 years ago when I was in the dairy business. had a few problems when first starting but things seemed to work out okay after more practice. Don't know if anyone can start out and claim to be an expert right out of the gate. I still do my own AI on my 30 cow beef herd. I have tried preg checking my cows in early gestation with the membranes slip, tried blood test, (both at home and send to lab) and vet check. none seemed to be 100% accurate. best results were with vet years ago by palpating at 30 - 75 days. He would almost always be within a day or two of my AI breeding dates, (he was the only preg check that I remember as being 100% correct.) Vets now use ultrasound and seem comfortably correct. I did not have good accurate results with the BIOPRYN blood test. I will preg check a cow that is overdue a few days and not showing signs of calving soon but by then I am just feeling for a leg or head that I can feel. [/QUOTE]
