[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 585005, member: 1863"] I had the vet out Friday to do the annual preg check and update the vaccinations. I came up with two cows open. Both cows are young (both have had one calf) and they weaned off two great calves this summer. Everything else was 3 to 4 months bred which tells me that my bull has done his job. I put him in with the cows June 1st. My delima is what to do with these open cows. Both are very good looking cows and very healthy. The vet said that if they are under 30 days bred it is very hard to confirm the pregnancy. The bull has no interest in them but has been babysitting some of the neighbors cows that are in heat from across the line fence. I have not seen him act like these two cows have been in heat for a while. I wonder if the vet just misjudged the feel or what could have happened to these seemingly healthy cows? Should I wait a couple of months and do a re-check before I pull the plug and cull them? Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
