I have never tried to get urine samples off of cows but have had plenty of voluntary ones in my boots when I'm working them.

Start a couple of inches below the vulva and stroke up. Doesn't take much stroking.
Don't contaminate the sample with faecal matter.
And remember this next time you've got a new-calved cow who won't let her milk down. Works for that too :lol:
Just don't ask me what you have to do to a bull...

It wasn't for a urine sample, but this made me think of an instance about 10 years ago. There was a bull at our state fair that if you pet him in the right spot, he would ejaculate. We ended up buying him because we knew that if it were that easy to get him aroused, surely he could breed all of our cows. When they did the semen test on him, the breeder just started scratching him and told the vet there was no need for all of his equipment. I'm sure you can rub/scratch a certain spot on a bull to make him pee.
not in tennessee....its called foreplay :lol2:mobgrazer":pmln3hih said:I have a problem with stroking my cows vulva. :roll:
I have never tried it but for some reason it just seams wrong. I'm thinking you could get jail time for it in some states. :nod:
