[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1145293, member: 14661"] In my experience, on dairy cattle yes but beef cattle no. It's really rare for me to stick my arm in a beef cow and feel any kind of tone worth mentioning. On occasion I'll feel one that is absolutely in heat but those are hard to be wrong on as the external signs will tell you you're dead on before your arm goes in. On dairy cattle one of my tricks to keep me dialed in is to carry a glove when I heat detect and stick an arm in anything that makes me pause. Every little change in the ration/weather/management will change the display of estrus so you can't do it the same way every day unless you want to lose your job. When I start finding hot cows that had me unsure then it's time to be more aggressive. [/QUOTE]
