Should i begin to get slightly worried

Cow served on 21 July 2020 to a lim'young bull - hence the survey from a certain ai company's

Still no closer to calving today, have put my arm in, all normal.


Wouldn't be the first time said company has inseminated a cow to a different bull. And the endings never turned out great when it did happen.

That's my thinking. Looking at the survey questionnaire. The young bull is Tomschoice Pavarotti.
To get a good idea of a beef bulls progeny the only real way to find out is through on farm data which means using young bulls and completing the calf survey. If no one used them it would be more difficult to find the stand out or poorer bulls unfortunately

When you say all normal - are you sure it's still alive? I've known it that the calf has died inside but not cause any ill effects.

Been calving heifers served to lim bull, most have calved within days of calving date. But one went 19 days over, but has since had normal size calf on her own.
