The ES blood test result on my mare was 10 ng/ml. This is above the non-pregnant mares range of 3.6 but below the pregnant mares minimum of 30 ng/mL. Since I have fescue pastures, I want to make sure that there is no way that my mare is pregnant.

Hello Scott,
How many days has it been since your mare was bred?

This should be indicative of not pregnant Scott but these tests are not 100%. Since you fall in between you could consider a second test if other tests for pregnancy are not available.
