James Strain on farm with his daughter. Previous Next Last weekend was an eventful one on the farm. Saturday morning began with scanning all the cows that were served over 28 days ago. The results were good, with almost everything displaying to be in-calf. I was a little disappointed, however, to have two cows that were served 44 days ago, scan empty. I had been keeping a fairly tight eye on them, or at least I thought I was. But I must have missed at least one repeat heat, if not two. Served again One of those two cows showed a heat on Saturday evening and has been served again, hopefully for the final time. I will now stop feeding meal to the cows that have scanned back in-calf.
