[Dozer45]

You guys that have a vet preg check. What are you guys paying for a farm call and per head?

$22 call 15 miles. $125? Hour ultra sound or $3 head and long as help around hour charge cheaper. $30 chute I think if you meed one.

Our farm call is $75 but we are an hour away and the preg is $6 for the first one and $3 after that. I know a year ago a farm call was $60 and the year before that it was $40.

Have you tried the blood tests ,I think more accurate than some vets ,no mileage or trip charge ,can work with your schedule when you need it ....2.65 a head ,know results in a week or less ,do have a little freight ,and some supplies ....I go through SEK .......

ours is $45 if called before 9 am and then 5 dollars per head checked

We started using the blood test this year I was just wanting to compare prices  <cowboy>

Farm call is $40, preg checks 3.90 per head.  Ultrasound was a little higher but can't remember how much.

I paid $2.40 to lab for blood test.  Seem to work well

How soon does the blood test tell you?  How much blood do you have to draw?

Need apprx. 2cc of blood. You can tell pregnancy at 28 days post breeding ai and 28 post embryo implant are what we go by.  Make sure they are 70 past calving and also remember that they can still absorb one later, we just had one test preg at 45 days and then she lost it 2 weeks later

We've been using the SEK preg test & it sure makes the AI program smoother.  Our weather has been so atrocious the cows don't want to jump anybody!

I don't like waiting for results, so I have my cows ultrasounded.  $40 trip. $4 dollars to ultrasound, 30 days post breeding and darn near perfect on results.
