The next step after cattle ai is to see if you were successful in getting the cow bred. Flare has a bit of an attitude, in fact her name relates to a temper that randomly flares up! :-)
Blood pregnancy tests are an inexpensive way to find out if your cattle ai worked or if you need to try again. Several testing facilities give values to the blood test so you have an idea what the average for your herd is.
Feeding the AI cows at our facility is time consuming and expensive! Twice per week during the breeding season we pick up a ton of feed for daily use. That's not all we feed. Besides the 12% bags, we have free choice hay 24/7 as well as suppliments. The girls are well cared for while they are here!
