[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1154632, member: 18945"] Milkmaid: Is there any way for the vet to determine (thru an exam) if one or any of the currently bred cows has slipped a calf in the last 6-7 months? Would it leave scar tissue that would be readily evident? Sky: You/we don't know that to be a fact. Unless there is something with the bull, found to account for the cows being 5 months behind schedule, there are any number of possibilities as the cause. DB: If the test comes back "perfect" in all respects, you may not be any better able to make a decision. All you will know is you have a sound/potent bull as of the day of the test. What is going on today is not as important as determining what went wrong back in the preferred and expected breeding window and whether it was bull or female related (or both). Sure hate to see you sell your bull only to find the new one fares no better. [/QUOTE]
