[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 42354, member: 9"] Palpation is definitely not the job for the inexperienced and untrained. We have found that even the Vet's have a wide range of accuracy in palpation. One Vet we had used palpated one of our cows and said she was "Open." Gave her a shot to cycle her again. She aborted a 2-3 month old fetus! That Vet not used again for "serious" procedures anymore. Get recommendations from others on a good vet to use for palpation. In the first 3-4 months of pregnancy the size of the calf fetus should be in the egg/small or large mouse/rat size. Ultrasound is always the most accurate if you have a Vet that has the equipment and knows how to use it correctly. [/QUOTE]
