If there has been a reproductive disease go through the herd it can be caught earlier and dealt with. It is much better to find you have open cows at weaning than at calving time when you finally notice cows aren’t bagging up. At the same time as pregnancy examination, reproductive problems can be explored and cows can be condition scored and vaccination and deworming protocols implemented or discussed with your veterinarian. Lots can be done at the pregnancy examination visit to help with the year round health of your herd, so let’s utilize this opportunity to the fullest.
