When should a cow be scanned?

Cows should be scanned for pregnancy approximately 60 days after breeding. This is when the fetus is large enough to be detected by ultrasound.

Here are some additional reasons why a cow might be scanned:

* Early pregnancy detection: This allows for timely management of the herd and can help with planning for calving season.

* Confirming pregnancy: If a cow is suspected to be pregnant but hasn't shown signs like swollen udder or increased appetite, a scan can confirm the pregnancy.

* Determining fetal viability: If a cow has been bred but isn't showing signs of pregnancy, a scan can determine if the fetus is viable.

* Monitoring fetal development: Scans can be used to monitor the development of the fetus and identify any potential problems.

Note: It's important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the best time to scan a cow based on individual circumstances.
