[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1196574, member: 9267"] That's interesting. Early pregnancy testing to identify the earliest calvers is being pushed very hard here - I've just received a flyer in the mail telling me I should be doing that now - but from talking to a vet last year I got the impression no one actually does it. I was just thinking that at this stage I could as easily get the information I want from an early pregnancy test as from improved heat detection, but I'd never put the cows through that (and pay for it) without very good reason. Like if they're being sold, it has to be done, or if you have workers who don't know what a cycling cow looks like. The backpack ultrasound is very good. Vets are using it to do small groups, where previously they were setting up a lot of equipment to ultrasound a whole herd but they'd only palp a group of twenty or so. They still manually check any cows that appear open on the ultrasound. [/QUOTE]
