Is She Bred?

Here's an interesting site for the BioTracking company. They offer a pregnancy testing service for cattle, sheep, elk, goats, bison, and deer, that they claim is 97% accurate.

The test requires sending them a blood sample through the mail. The cost of a 10 test kit is in the $5 range and the actual test itself is around $3, postage is on you. The test can be processed in a day.

They are out of Moscow, ID. There are several testing labs here in the US. Canada, Europe and Australia.

I have used them several times. You don't even really need to get a kit from them. You can get the proper tubes from your local farm supply or vet. It is quick and accurate, in my experience.
