What do you call a cow that is not pregnant?

How can you tell if a cow is barren?
A cow is considered barren if it does not become pregnant despite multiple mating attempts over an extended period. A veterinarian can confirm this through reproductive examinations such as ultrasound or blood hormone tests.
You have inseminated your cow 6 times in 6 months but it has not conceived What could be the reason?
There are plenty of reasons you could be having a problem. The first set of reasons are "operator error" - did you inseminate 12 hours after observing a standing heat? Did you inseminate into the uterus, completely through the cervix? Did you keep the semen straws frozen properly until useage? The second set of reasons are "cow problems" - does the cow have a normal uterus? Does the cow ovulate, or is she developing cystic ovaries? Does the cow have fertile oocytes? Both sets of problems can be easily evaluated by your veterinarian - after 6 months, I would suggest paying the farm call fee and have him/her out.
