It's about £10/month to link sensehub to uniform. I was told by the sensehub rep, ai between 24 and 12 hours, but that was a few years ago and their advice may changed. IMO your collars look too loose. Get the rep on farm they should sort you out.

Looks like he missed her heat and she’s thrown it out
Give her three weeks and she’ll be bulling again
Don’t know why she needs a vet

Yeah throw a sexed in her in three weeks job done.

She’s been struggling a wee bit wasn’t getting served but just making a point

SenseHub guy said 400£ a month for us. Ok thanks for that I wasn’t sure if I’m putting them on right but some of them look too tight! He’s coming out next week

I know, thousands has been spent. However going to take me a while to get into the way of it. Took a picture of this cow and screenshotted the app at the same time. Blood has came on her when the app is telling me she’s good for sexed. Am I being silly to be confused ?

How much earlier would you have served her by observation.

 

[SouthWest]

Phone uniform, they will tell you the price and could set it up in a couple of hours, saves hours entering the same data multiple times. I don't enter any data into sensehub.

Probably that morning. Pic taken in afternoon

 

[frederick]

I’ve nothing like uniform, just input data into sensehub calvings dry off etc. Here we do fortnightly fert vet checks and I’d say there invaluable. The colour of that blood I’d say she’ll need vet intervention or time.

Why she's just expressed a heat. Even if she was dirty she's naturally cleaning herself out with a heat and will be sorted for 21days time.

Fortnightly vet visits are a vets dream because of cows that aren't quite capable of milking at the level that the farm asks.

In that case I think it is probably spot on.

 

[supercow]

But it still says good for sexed when I took the picture. Would you serve sexed when she’s got blood

It’s a discipline that pays dividend’s here.

How do you know.
For the last two years at my one fertility check at day 22 of service both times we only found one dirty cow out of 250 and they were the sort of cow that wouldn't matter what you did you weren't going to clean them up. If you look for dirty cows around day 20-28 you will find them but time is the greatest healer

I’m in charge not the cow. AYR calving system.

So what percentage of your cows on a fortnightly routine will the vet say she's fine nothing here for me to do.
On the rest what is the most common intervention.

Sometime’s we worm the dog’s, sometimes just have a blether. Percentage’s here I hope are fine.

Haven’t got a clue if it takes a while to bed in! First collars on just over 2 weeks ago.

The heattime collars I used to use had to be on for 21 days before they gave you any reliable information. Older technology though.

I would agree with that, can have a cow hang it’s cleaning on a course etc then vet checked her at 30 days or so and she’s cleaned herself. I used to check everything after calving, but felt it wasn’t productive finding as you say 1 dirty cow In 50. Everyone has different routines that work for them. Our fertility could definitely be better maybe checking every single cow would improve it, but I won’t be doing it !

Ok that sounds a good explanation.

Il phone them but no keen on spending a lot of money for it. It used to be free until about 6 months ago the fella said

The screen shot tells me she's out of the window for sexed. Once the black triangle hits the green I'd be looking to ai. In an ideal world 18-12 hours on the count down is the ultimate for conventional with a few hours lower for sexed. Have you had any training on the program?
