We had our cow AI'd last fall (October 21st, to be exact). I had always thought that the gestation period of a cow was about 9 months. Is this correct? Our cow shows no sign of impending delivery. We just raise a few cattle for beef for our family, and this is the first time we have AI'd. I've never done anything with preg testing cows, either.
So how long do you think I'll need to wait? I get the feeling that she isn't pregnant and that we need to get her over to the bull. What are the rates of success with AI, and is it normal for a cow not to take when AI'd?
I am a long time reader, but just don't have the experience to post much. I have greatly enjoyed reading the comments, and have been helped many times. la4angus, dun and many others are a credit to this board, and that is why I still check daily.
Anyway, your help is appreciated.
