Rookie Rancher":2pk5rofx said:I had the vet check her Monday at 8am and she said there was definitely something in there, but that it wasn't in the birth canal yet and she couldn't tell yet which way it was positioned. Do I need to have her checked again, or just wait? The vet said she didn't detect any movement in the calf. By my estimation the heifer is 17 months old now, maybe 18. I hope she's not aborting. I'm tired, but would sure like some reward at the end of this. If my heifers all calve so early, will they be OK for future use as cows? I've seen people on the board talk about damaging them, but I don't really know what they mean or what to look for.

Those with knowledge of the AI process:
Are AI tech's trained to look for pregnancy after administration?
Would any kind of check be done before drugs and such to be sure each was ready?
Would he not have noticed one was already pregnant BEFORE going ahead?

sorry, administration - to administer/give shots or what not. Terminology I'm used to hearing my kids doctor say.
Thank you all for your answers.
