Winter is tough on us on us all. Those cold evenings sat in front of the fire, extra snacks after a cold morning, big roast dinners. All these behaviours add up. We are here to help your pets trim down and stay fit this winter. Sign up by July 1st. All entrants receive a free weight-loss consult and the winner will receive 3 months of weight loss food! 🐶🦴

With the end of cattle pregnancy scanning coming to an end, the big question is...
How did your herd stack up this season?

So far we’ve been seeing empty rates between
7.3% – 11%, with 6-week in-calf rates between 73% - 76.5% across the farms we’ve scanned.

For comparison, good targets to keep in mind are:

🐄 6-week in-calf rate:
Aim for 78% or higher

🐄 3-week submission rate:
Aim for 90% or higher

These numbers are great indicators of how well mating has gone and can highlight opportunities to improve next season.

How did your herd compare?
