Breeding Soundness Evaluations
for Bulls
When breeding season is on the horizon, one of our vets can come out to your farm or feedlot to conduct bull soundness evaluations. We need to make sure your bulls are fertile, sound, and healthy, so they can breed easily with the fertile cows in your herd.
During the bull soundness evaluation, we will:
- Perform a physical examination
- Look for any signs of injury, illness, or defect
- Assess reproductive organs and semen quality to determine breeding eligibility
Cow Pregnancy Evaluations
A healthy cow is paramount. Their pregnancy evaluation will include:
- A thorough physical examination
- A diagnostic ultrasound to diagnose and monitor the cow’s pregnancy
In addition, our veterinarians can conduct pre-breeding, post-breeding, and post-partum exams, where we check the cow for any health issues and confirm she is able to breed again next season.
