(facepalm)I've had people telling me is they would stick a pen in the calf's vulva dose that really work and how can i do it my self?
my plan with her is to breed her and have a calf and then use her as a foster mom for other bottle calf's i have had dairy farmers tell me a way and easy way to tell if she can be bred is to stick a pen in her vulva i got her from a friend not sure if she is from a twin bull that's what I'm worried about(facepalm)
Is there any reason to think the calf is a twin?
I don't know of a single person that has ever bought a bottle calf that worried about whether they would breed. And they would certainly not stick a hard object anywhere as fragile as the inside of a vagina.
Raise the calf and if she breeds, she breeds. If she doesn't, she goes in the freezer.
How old are you?my plan with her is to breed her and have a calf and then use her as a foster mom for other bottle calf's i have had dairy farmers tell me a way and easy way to tell if she can be bred is to stick a pen in her vulva i got her from a friend not sure if she from a twin bull thats what I'm worried about

Just learn how to take care of your calf and don't worry about the rest. And never put anything in the calf's vulva.
ok will do i know there is freemartin tests that i saw that they take 3mL of the calf's blood to a lab that can also be done which is only $55 might need to look into that thanks for the adviceJust learn how to take care of your calf and don't worry about the rest. And never put anything in the calf's vulva.
just did some more research the freemartin probe test is only used for calf's under 30 days so i can not use the probe test since she is 5 months old about to be 6 soon i will just wait intel i can see when she has her first couple heat cycles thank you have a happy holiday!Just learn how to take care of your calf and don't worry about the rest.
