AI questions

My cow is in heat and set to be AI'd tonight. I am wondering how and when I will know if it took. Do I wait to see if she has another heat cycle? Can they preg check that early? I'm just wondering what my next steps will be.

Think it's 90 day waiting period for pregnancy testing, so I'd watch for another heat. Good luck!

There's a blood test that is cheap and very accurate. I think it can be done at 4 weeks?

Here's the site: http://www.biotracking.com/

There's a lab locator, instructions on how to use it and prices.

Thanks! I will watch her for her next heat and then do the test. Hate to waste any more time than necessary!
