[QUOTE="MichaelB, post: 778901, member: 8794"] Thank you all for your replies. My son and I hustled the heifer back over to the bull yesterday evening. She promptly mounted the bull, so maybe we continue to have process issues. The bull was very interested in her, and the bull owner agreed to keep her there for the next 30 days in hopes of getting her settled. So now the older cow will calve sometime in April 2011 and the heifer will not calve until at least June 2011. I did some further research and realized that I should have been at the Bio-Tracking website instead of the one that I had bookmarked, and I was able to view the video on taking the blood sample from the tail vein. I could probably do that. And Hoss_Ross, your comment about cross contamination of samples was on the mark, no offense taken there. My only hope is that once she gets pregnant the first time that she will be easier to settle in the future. Michael [/QUOTE]
