[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 524052, member: 7956"] No. Heard about it, but never learned enough about it to know when you could feel it. When I took the class in the fall, most of the cows we pregged were either the university's cows or some individual's that calved in March/April. We were done with the actual palpation by early November, so the longest bred cows we got to preg were about 160-170 days bred. Our instructor didn't give much guidance once you got past that. Seems to me, genetics of the calf and what it's birth weight is going to be make a huge difference. I.E. a calf that will weigh 90 lb at birth will feel much different when palpated at 8 months than a calf that will weigh 60 lbs at birth. Maybe you could enlighten me. :help: [/QUOTE]
