[QUOTE="HomePlaceAngus, post: 886496, member: 17399"] What we do is about 2 weeks after we AI we put a Estrotect scratch off patch on their tail head. If they come into heat again, about 21 days after we AIed them other cows will ride them and the patch turns red. We can AI them a second time right then. A couple days later we turn them out with the bull and put a patch on them in 2 weeks. If after 21 days from the date we did the second AI, the patch is not red, she is bred. After we AI the second time and put a patch on her, the bull or other cows will only ride her if she come into heat again. If she does come into heat the patch will be red and the bull will breed her. 75 days after we put them in with the bull we then blood test only the females that did not take by AI to make sure the bull got them. The answer to your question though is this. The lab we use recomends blood testing 45 days after you AI them or the bull has serviced them. If it comes back positive she is bred. If it comes back negitive or re-test, you would not know if she was bred by the bull or open. without doing another blood lest. I hope I did not make this too confusing. Good Luck :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
