[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1404357, member: 14661"] It happens all the time. It's a tough deal to stick your arm in a cow one time and try to make an accurate call with no information. On dairies most of the time someone is standing there with a clipboard telling them what they're looking for and that helps tremendously. I had a young vet in one of my herds that was wrong often enough that we were not willing to lute anything he called open. I pulled in to the sale one day and saw him checking cows and they had a couple hundred head and were slamming the through. I went and looked over the stuff he had already checked and then sat in the stands and bought about thirty head at a steep discount that, according to the vet, were going to be early spring calvers instead of the desired fall calvers. Two months later I started hauling fall calving pairs back to the sale. That deal kind of made up for having to put up with him in my dairy herds. He did get much better with time. [/QUOTE]
