[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 862483, member: 4353"] Firstly I feel for a calf, if I can't feel a calf I feel for the cervix, if I can't feel the cervix I feel for the two veins going to the uterus at either side of the pelvic opening (if you go through the pelvic opening feel just behind the pelvic rim) one should vibrate much more than the other if she is in calf from bout 4 months onwards. The side that vibrates more is also the side which horn of the uterus is carrying the calf. You should also be able to feel the cotyledons where the placenta attaches to the uterine wall if you feel just on the other side of the pelvic opening pulling your open hand back towards you. Not sure that made any sense, but its hard to describe. In the case of left horn pregnancies in roomier older cows its often not possible to feel the calf until about 8 months as the calf can be hidden underneath the rumen. [/QUOTE]
