[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1643385, member: 39695"] Practice is the key. 2nd stage (4-6mos) is like bouncing a ball off your fingertips. 3rd stage (7-9mos) is kind of split up. 7mos feels like 2nd stage, but sometimes the calf is out of reach. We used to call those cows II+ bred at the sale barn. III stage (8-9mos) is easy. Run your hand along the inside of the cows pelvis. You will be able to feel her uterine artery. It will feel about as big as your thumb, and when you apply pressure you can feel it pulse (freminus) because the cow is pumping so much blood to the calf. But like I said before, it's all just lots of practice. [/QUOTE]
