[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 937698, member: 94"] What is the best test, other than palpation, for determing if a cow/heifer is pregnant? I'm looking for some alternatives to getting a vet out to palpate, as I am not qualified myself. In the past we have pretty much kept bulls out year round, but now we're trying to go to more defined calving seasons: My situation is the following: Put bulls in with cattle on 04-28-12. Plan to pull bulls this weekend - they will have been out about 78 days with the cows Wait about 30 - 60 days, then preg check all cows/heifers Any cows not bred will be culled, and open heifers may be moved to the fall calving herd for another chance. I've looked at the GENEX blood test, and it seems like the option I may try, but I just wanted to get some feedback on others experiences. [/QUOTE]
