[QUOTE="cotton1, post: 1391395, member: 14689"] Thanks for the opinions and well wishes so far. I'm still believing its my herd bulls calf, which is not bad. Only because this particular heifer is not easily replaceable and could be a donor someday did I want to make sure she had a trouble free calving.I didn't AI any other heifers, and only one cow. I AI bred the cow to the herd bull as she came in heat within a couple days of the bull going in. I am encouraged by the possibility of the calf being his and being early but healthy. We only had one crop off the bull before and calving was trouble free, but his EPDs are not really heifer bull stats. I'm still working on the wife to get a picture or two up of the subjects here. I do not know how to post pictures, but if I was reading this about somebody else cattle I'd want some pictures. Anybody ever get DNA with a blood sample? As far as I know the options my breed association accepts tail hair, or ear notches. I've only submitted tail hair to date, but was thinking drawing blood from the tail, like a preg test should be a option. That calf will be 5-6 weeks old before I can get decent hair samples.
