Ultrasound Pregnancy Scanning and Foetal Ageing from 28 Days
Checking the pregnancy status of your cows and heifers early is the best way of identifying females with sub fertility. Culling these unproductive females is the best way to increase the fertility of your herd as it is a highly heritable trait. It also means you can stop feeding empty females and sell them as soon as possible and thus increase your cash flow earlier and save on feed costs. Ultrasound Pregnancy Scanning and foetal aging from 28 days via the latest technology Repro Scan equipment is a quick, safe and cost effective way of achieving this.
We have the latest highly portable Ultrasound technology and it allows us to accurately age the foetus from as early as 28 days of pregnancy up to 110 days. This information can be used by stud and commercial breeders alike to identify pregnancies to AI and ET or back up bulls. Females joined naturally to a bull can be drafted according to early, mid or late calving stages for on farm management or sale purposes.
We provide Ultrasound Pregnancy Scanned In Calf (UPSIC) certificates for sale purposes and we service all areas.

Freeze Branding
Freeze branding is a permanent form of ID for stud, recorded and commercial situations where individual ID is required. It is also a great option to use with NLIS tags for the two forms of permanent ID required for most of the Breed Societies. Alternatively, year letters can help you manage cow herd age or the owner’s station brand only can be used for property of origin. The bold, 75mm high, thick font irons create a brand that can be seen from a further distance than ear tags and cannot be removed. One of the best ways to cut down stock theft is to have your cattle freeze branded!
