[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1404358, member: 852"] Angus- Old cows tend to have a big uterus anyway, it's been stretched multiple times, so a 30-40 day pregnancy sometimes doesn't have enough fluid yet to make one horn larger than the other. If I don't know I'm looking for a really early pregnancy I'm not likely to spend the time slipping the horns through my fingers searching for a marble sized embryo. I also don't do enough of the early ones to be really good at noticing the subtleties of a probable early pregnancy. A heifer has a pencil sized uterus so when she gets pregnant there's a much more significant difference between the two horns of the uterus or between open and pregnant. I like beef heifers much better than old dairy cows. :P [/QUOTE]
