[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 228139, member: 852"] Double R -- sounds like you could use a new vet! Or at least you ought to meet one who can accurately tell how far along a cow is. My vet is really, really good. (He knows it too; email starts with "expertvet"... :lol2:) I had him out a few months ago to check two cows. One was 39 days, other was 42 days according to my records. He called them just a day or two off, but he was [i]very [/i]close. I don't always tell him what the cow should be (days bred) before he has a feel...just to make sure he's not falling asleep. LOL. He can check down to 32 days accurately and can check up to ~90 days and be nearly to the day. Over that and there's a general consensus that it's harder to accurately tell stage of gestation. However, I don't believe he's ever been more than 30 days off on anything over 90 days gestation. [/QUOTE]
