Cattle preg testing via blood is easy and effective
Has anyone else in SA tried Cattle preg testing via Blood Samples. You get accurate test results back within hours confirming Pregnant or Empty status. Accurate from 28 days from last mating. Its $44.60 for one sample on a fee sliding scale down to $9.90/sample for 10 samples or more. You can take the bloods or local staff will come and do it for you. With limited paddock feed, high hay costs (if you can source any) this has helped with our herd management. The same organisation can also arrange for an AI program to be done on any non pregnant cows and heifers, they service most areas of SA on a regular basis , AI saves us running extra bulls which = less hassle and less feed wasted.
