Repro on your mind?

Most of you will have stated autumn calving by now. Occupying your mind will be thoughts of picking up calves, checking on the heifer that’s taking a while, dodging retained membranes, and getting enough sleep to function.

However, some of your minds may wander to a time, in the not-so-distant future, and think fondly about metrichecking, painting tails, drafting cows for AB and wrangling bulls. That’s right, mating is just around the corner!

If you need a productive break from calving, to help make some informed decisions around mating this season, speak to your Franklin Vets vet to book your FREE 45-minute Ready to Mate consult now!

This session is tailored to your individual farm. Covering all the key topics that will drive submission this season:

• Calving spread
• BCS and nutrition post calving
• Heifer management
• Heat detection.

We can also discuss:

• Animal health including uterine infections, BVD, trace minerals
• Dealing with non-cyclers
• Heifer synchrony
• Heat detection and AI
• Mating length and ensuring adequate replacement numbers
• Bull numbers and management.

Your mind can be free to think about more important things, like when will the Blackcaps win test series against Australia?, where are you going duck shooting this year?, and how to get out of seeing the in-laws this Easter?.
