[QUOTE="cmf1, post: 1161232, member: 6681"] Pretty cool tool. I had to have the vet out to BSE and Trich test a young bull that is going to work in another herd shortly. I used him for clean up and some heifers this year. As long as the vet was coming out I gathered up All of them and had him Ultra sound them. All but 1 took on AI and the bull got her. He bred the heifers as well. I don't know how reliable the sexing is at 75ish days, and I'm sure it's got alot to do with the operator, but it's darned impressive to see the ultra sound in application. Almost before he'd get his wrist in he said " yup" , then fish around for another few seconds and say the sex. Much less invasive than manual palpation, not that that's a major deal, but I've always been a lttle concerned when they come up out of sync and are palp'ed at very early stage. And the sexing thing is an added value if it's reliable. All in all, I liked it. Who on here use ultra sound regularly and for what reasons? Do you find the sexing to be reliable and or helpful? Cost effective fot what youget? [/QUOTE]
