[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 967384, member: 14661"] Anytime you ask someone to stick their arm in a cow and tell you what is going on you're leaving yourself open for error. Anyone who can say they haven't made a mistake inside of a cow hasn't been in very many. Especially when you consider that some of them are "aired up" and there is usually no coming back to them. I work with some of the best vets in the world and I still see about two percent of my "open" cows with strings hanging out of them on ovsync day and that's with a herdsman and a clipboard standing in front of them telling them what to look for and I breed a few "pregnant" cows a day that were called at 42 days carrying, which happens to be the same as two 21 day cycles. Imagine going in with ZERO information and you can see how mistakes would multiply. I've dealt with vets who really did a great job on animal health that couldn't find a calf to save their life and I've dealt with vets that could palpate well and you'd better just guess on your downer cows...
