Considering getting a heat detection system e.g. collars or peds.
Don't need them for maiden heifers as easily detected using estrotech patches.
In the herd there's always a few barren cows that I don't want to breed, so wouldn't need heat detecting...
For a 200 cow unit how many devices do I need? Currently moving from AYR to autumn calving... poss. With a smaller spring block if too many stragglers.
Does anyone swap the collars once cows are PD+?
TIA
