[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1656312, member: 38590"] I've never seen this specific machine, but the problem with ones like it is that in order to be accurate a person needs to be pretty skilled at placing the probe. The uterus in cattle isn't fixed in position like it is for most animals; it can be anywhere on the pelvic floor or falling down into the abdomen. In order for this machine to work, you've got to be sure you're directing it at the the uterus, and not the bladder, rumen, etc. If you're good enough inside the cow to reliably identify the uterus, you're only half a step from being able to preg check by hand and don't need that machine.
