[QUOTE="regolith, post: 860720, member: 9267"] For those of you who do them - what are you looking for? I only really do them on cows supposed to be 5 - 6 months or more bred, and that's not likely to change - I figure if I can't tell between an open cow and one with a five month calf in her I probably need my hand/brain connection looking at. Found two opens today, just checking a few of the dry cows that weren't springing yet. But the others, it goes along the lines of - if I can't find a bladdy thing she's pregnant, if I can touch the end of the cervix but can't pick it up or reach the uterus it's because there's a big calf pulling it over the edge of the pelvis, if I find a foot or a bag of little bones in there she's pregnant. Somehow I'm suspecting there's a bit more to it than that, or that I need longer arms. [/QUOTE]
