[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 76480, member: 430"] I know that vets can and are off on palpation a lot of times, but I know when her last calves were born and how quiclky she usually breeds back and am also basing it on that information also. I keep as detailed information as I can on the herd, most of the time I base due dates on these figures. If I have a heifer, or new cow I get them palpated, or if I have a cow that I have had a problem in the past with. I have thought about that option also. I have 1 graft calf I got at the sale weekend before last and am in the process of mothering it with it's "new" momma. I don't know which is the lesser of 2 evils. If I can get this calf on it's own then walla, I have nothin got do. If I pull her off and bottle (tube) her and get a new calf for momma then I will have to keep doing it or sell her at the auction too. Thank you for your insight, I have a few things to think out, She is just so darn cute! It's hard to make the decision to get rid of her, at least the momma likes her and wants her, who knows with a graft calf. [/QUOTE]
