[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 738549, member: 5917"] It's not that hard. Put the cow in a squeeze chute, put on one of the shoulder length gloves, lube up the hand and go in through the rectum. Remove any poop you find right there, makes it easier. Feeling down ward you will feel the pelvic bone. Just past the pelvic bone you will feel something large and hard; bred; or you will feel pretty much nothing there; open. You will be feeling down not up. Feel to the left feel to the right. I have gone in clear to my shoulder feeling for a calf in an open cow. I have found the front feet on one and just the head or butt on others. if this cow was with a bull from around the time she calved til you got her she should be bred. But there is a chance she is not, that is why I say preg check her. Now if you don't want to do it yourself call your vet, but it is much cheaper to learn to do it yourself. Another reason for the shoulder length glove is it is really hard to get the poop stains out of clothes, lost a couple of shirts that way and didn't want to explain the stains. ;-) :D [/QUOTE]
