Tips for a Successful Preg Checking Season

How do you get the most data out of preg-checking?

Timing matters. To get the clearest, most accurate results, make sure your cows are presented in the right window:

  • 45–90 days bred is the sweet spot for accuracy—especially if you’re determining AI vs. bull-bred pregnancies.
  • Scanning under 100 days offers the most reliable fetal aging.
  • During this phase, you can also identify death loss and multiples, giving you better information to guide management decisions.
  • By contrast, late second- and third-trimester animals are more difficult to age accurately.

Open vs Short Breds

A question we have been getting recently is “how do you differentiate an open vs short breds?” In the video below, Elle will explain the difference, what to look for, and how to get your probe in position to get the right image!

Preg-check early and see the difference

  • Cull opens early before they eat through additional feed.
  • Gain more data at preg-check time to support better herd management.
  • Save feed costs and reallocate resources efficiently.
  • Boost ranch efficiency with timely, informed decisions.

We’re ag people ourselves—designing practical, rugged ultrasound technology built for chute-side work. Our gear is made to last, and our support team understands the realities of rural life.
