Guide to Bovine Reproduction
There's a lot of good information to be found over at the Visual Guide to Bovine Reproduction. For instance, Estrus detection: "The cow that stands to be mounted is the cow in heat. Cows are bisexual, hence may be mounted by a bull or another cow. Standing to be mounted is the gold standard of estrus detection."
And also:
Cow Eating Placenta: "It is not uncommon for a cow to eat her fetal membranes. This may cause digestive problems. It is an old-wives tale that the fetal membranes contain hormones that will benefit uterine involution. Some believe that it is the instinct of the cow "remove the evidence" to discourage predators."
What I find strange is the design of the site. For some reason, you don't really expect a guide to bovine reproduction to have fancy scrolling menus.

Well put together site. The scrolly thing on the left is nice.
But some of the pics are a bit "icky", such as the cow vagina.

Cattlemax, cattle management software?
You know, it's funny. You see an industry from the outside and think, huh, okay seems simple enough. Then you take a peek inside and realize that you know almost nothing about the subject.
It appears I know very little about the cattle industry.

Kingmonkey, there's a rumor going around that you know more about bovine reproduction than you're letting on.
