Chad who just A I ed. Lucy said it may not be bad to do a $20 blood test in 8 to 10 weeks just to insure. Any thoughts I am not to worried. This man A I 's goats but said by inducing the heat you are very sure but for $20 he thinks its is better than waiting 9 month. Any thoughts ? |

Charles Townson always raved about the BioPryn blood test. You can use it 28 days after breeding. It costs $24.00 for 10 test kit with testing prepaid. Then you have to learn how to take a blood sample. Charles Townson had a vet who would stop by and draw blood for each of his bred cows and heifers for $6.00 apiece. Charles told me that the test was accurate on every one he had tested. www.dhicoop.com/biopryn.htmlThis company is close to you, so the samples should arrive there quickly and you can get your results back by email. Quick! And cheap! |

You can use BioPryn for $2 per animal. Look them up on line. I sent mine to LSU @ Baton Rouge (they have since stop doing the test but gave me an address in Franklinton, LA.) It only cost $2 per sample. I got the results back in a week by email.

The Biopryn thing is a great test, especially to get results so soon after breeding. But keep in mind a positive test at 28 days does not guarantee keeping that pregnancy; a few months down the road the cow could lose it without your being aware until you see signs of heat. A good friend who breeds Angus tells me the cows doesn't "own" the pregnancy until 60 days after breeding. Anything can happen.
