NEW SERVICE ALERT!
I am now adding Pelvic Scoring to my list of services. This is a pre-breeding tool for heifers that ideally is combined with an ultrasound scan to ensure replacement heifers are fit, suitable and ready for service. Pelvic scoring is NOT about selecting heifers with the largest pelvic area. What is IS useful for is selecting out heifers with abnormally shaped or abnormally small pelvises that would predispose to dystocia, and are traits that ideally are not kept within the herds genetics.

Its done using the tool shown below, a rice pelvimeter and is a non-invasive method per re**um. Feel free to message for any questions about the procedure, timing, rationale etc.

Ideally its performed at age 12-15 months. It is further advised to perform this within 30-60 days of intended breeding when combined with a repro ultrasound to look for diameter of the uterus and structures on the o***y. For example, the presence of a corpus luteum is a reliable marker of onset of puberty and thus greater likelihood of reproductive success.

Pricing:
On its own - £5/head (including interpretation!)
With a repro ultrasound check - £8/head

A few comments on preparing for winter housing AND that I will be away working in Ireland from October 10th until November 10th, so if you want some end of grazing season scanning done by me, try to plan before or after this!

Many will be aware that funded vet visits for multiple herds or flocks of the same species are now available in England. This support is part of Defra’s Animal Health and Welfare Pathway.

To ensure farmers understand how this applies specifically to beef and dairy cattle, Defra is hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 19 August at 11am.
 
This 1-hour session will cover..

how vet visits can help spot and prevent health issues early – especially with BVD testing

what the funding covers and how to apply

how to book a vet visit and claim payment

how the optional follow-up visit works – including the PI (persistently infected) hunt

A recording will be available afterwards on DEFRA's Webinars in 2025 page.

Available for any cattle scanning jobs in rain or shine, for both grumpy and joyful people, and for both calm or "spirited" cows 🤣

However, such a treat to scan friendly cows, with friendly people in friendly weather 😍

No video today I'm afraid, but instead a sales pitch reminder of my rates as scanning may be something you want/need to start thinking about coming out of the breeding season (for many farms anyways!)

ALSO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PLAY WITH AI IMAGES ....made me laugh what came up for female cattle ultrasound.....made me a cow....

Remember it's not just for pregnancy, I can give information on ovarian dynamics, current cycle phases, and uterine health. This is especially useful for cows not seen bulling, potential embryo recips, and animals at the start of synch programs

>20 cows NO VISIT FEE and £4 per scan
