[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1794098, member: 32659"] When I watch and listen to the cowboys that palpate ours it seems like it's very easy to tell if a cow is more than 75-90 days bred. In fact they know within a few seconds bred or open. When we ask how far along is when it gets tricky. We run a 90 day breeding season and check 90 days after pulling the bulls so how far along doesn't matter to us. I say all of that to say this. If all you want to know is bred or open I'd say a 2 day class would be great. If you what to get really good at knowing how for along a cow is I think you gotta get your arm in a 1,000 or so. Oh yea they can also tell pretty quick if they've had several calves or are heifers. Had a funny deal with that when I was first buying cows. [/QUOTE]
