Synching beef heifers near Chard....

🕢 This group of replacement heifers are undergoing oestrus synchronisations to allow for fixed term AI.
🐂 AI allows us to use a sire of superior genetic merit and favourable EBVs for calving ease.

✔️ A co-synch regime designed for beef heifers has been selected to optimise conception rates.

🐃 The heifers will calve at the beginning of the calving period allowing them more time to recover after their first calving.

⚖ They have reached target weight, 400kg+ by 13 months.
💉 They have been vaccinated for BVD and Lepto.
🥼 They have had Pelvimetry to ensure they have a large enough pelvis to deliver an average sized calf.

📆 Lots of planning required for optimal replacements! Here’s hoping for lots of pregnancies!
