[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1798402, member: 24816"] I’ve heard the same from a vet that [USER=25884]@farmerjan[/USER] said. That said it stands to logic that the vets at the stockyards are not likely going to take the time to try to be real precise, like some vets will on the farm. I’ve seen a couple months both ways, from our cattle at home. Have had a vet call a few heifers open that we waited a month and had another vet check them to be 4-5 bred right along with the other ones. So the first one missed them at 3-4 months bred. We’ve sold several cows through the ring that we felt should have been bred, but according to the stockyard vet they were open. Sold two awhile back at a different stockyards that we hadn’t sold at for a long time. I was figuring on those two probably being open, but they were bred, kind of makes me wonder. Had a situation a few years ago where we sold some calves in a Hereford influence sale. They have to be weaned and worked and heifers have to be open or else you have to pay the buyer $200 per head not open. We had our yearling heifers preg checked on the farm, they were all bred but one and we. Decided since she’s open to put her in that sale. Had her in a field away from the bull for well over a month after the vet called her open and had seen her in heat twice during that time, and no bulls around. I actually put our bull that was in a field next to her up in the barn to make sure he didn’t go through the fence because he wanted to. Got a call from the wheel of the Hereford influence sale the evening after the sale saying it was bred. I trust our vet and he stood behind theirs, I paid, but think there was a mistake made on their end. Have never sold at that sale since and likely won’t again especially heifers. [/QUOTE]
