    I see ended have brought out the milk test that allows you to see if a cow is in calf or not.
    Anyone know about it?
    How many cows can test with one kit?

    Yeh, but still will be handy for the odd cow who say slipped the net with the scanning. It's still cheap however in comparison to not scanning, esp of you are in winter milk, nothing worse than drying off a cow and only finding out she is empty when she doesn't start springing.
