[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1676935, member: 5381"] Lazy M is correct. If they are bred at least 28 days, the blood test is mostly accurate. The accuracy percentage goes up a few points when they are further along. I can see Silvers point of view. Blood testing is not for everyone. Around here, getting a vet out is not easy and not cheap. For me since I rotational graze, the cows rotate into the pasture with the pens every 30 to 45 days so cows that test open are caught and shipped the next time they come around. If thats not an option, I can leave the cows in the pastures close to the pens until the results come back which is usually on two or three days. I can send them priority mail for $7 which gets them to the lab in two days or less. The lab emails the results usually the same day received. If done after weaning, letting the cows make another rotation puts some flesh back on them to where they look a little better and weigh a little better when they goo to market. [/QUOTE]
