    All the blood typically tells you is that they ovulated. Which they were going to do whether you served them or not, all going to plan! If there is blood at the time of AI you are wasteing a straw, but this is not the case here.
    You might know in 20 or 21 days, and if you are not sure then you can scan from about 30 days and then you'll know.

    If I saw blood two days after Serving I'd record NIC? (not in calf) in ai note book and watch them for bulling 3 wks later. As they're tight heifers it's possible that it could be anal bleeding, therefore may be in calf. Nothing you can do until three wks, as already said above.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
