[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1261610, member: 5956"] I used to preg check every year, partly as community support for the local veterinary club. But their results were never anything more than confirmation of my own observations and sometimes their dating of conception confused the information I had and mine turned out to be correct, so I stopped bothering. I watch them all really closely during mating and some years I AI. I started out with about the same number of maternal lines and am now (after nearly 20 years) down to eight still contributing (with the effect of those cows which had sons still also running through the herd's family trees). Three of those lines are down to a single cow/daughter, so could disappear unless there's reason and opportunity to keep a lot of daughters. [/QUOTE]
