[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 448580, member: 968"] Peace of mind is worth the $20. but: Just because she was turned in with a bull 2 weeks later, doesn't mean she cycled 14 days later. In all probability, her calf was either 9 days late or 12 days early. So next question is was it a heifer or bull? If it's a bull, it is probably from the AI date - and in all probability, he will be a steer - (at least MOST bulls born SHOULD be a steer!) so, if he's a steer - who cares? On the other hand, if it's a heifer, "most" of the time heifers are on time or early born (always exceptions!), and you would "for sure" want her accurate pedigree. This is why I HATE buying cows from a herd using a clean up bull. I usually just eliminate them - too many IF's. [/QUOTE]
