We just got our results from preg checking using the blood test and are 3 for 3 being pregnant on the recips. Two of the three were implanted 28 days when we drew the blood, the third 47 days. I realize embryonic death can occur about anytime, especially in the heat of the summer. And when buying pregnant recips, they will sell them as bred at the 90 day mark. My question is, when can I relax and say they are bred with an ET calf, barring any unusual event?
Also somewhat related, has anyone else seen a lower than usual conception rate this year? Out of 8 A.I.ed cows, we had 5 showing open. 3 of the 5 we expected after seeing the clean-up bull tailing them, but the other 2 were surprises. We'll draw blood again about mid August on these 5 to see how the bull did.
