Cattle Pregnancy Checking in New Albany, MS
Open cows cost Union County producers money. Tri-State Livestock LLC. provides fast, accurate pregnancy checking throughout New Albany and surrounding areas-enabling strategic culling decisions that improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary feed costs.
The Cost of Open Cows
Non-productive animals consume hay, pasture, and mineral without generating calf revenue. Annual waste: $350-450+ per open cow. Early identification allows marketing before winter feeding begins, recovering value while body condition supports sale prices.
Checking Methods
Rectal palpation provides immediate results-no waiting on labs. Detects pregnancies from 35 days post-breeding with high accuracy. We estimate breeding dates, helping sort cows into tighter calving groups.
Post-Check Strategies
Young cows with first failures may deserve second chances via AI or bull exposure. Chronically open animals warrant culling. We discuss options based on age, condition, and herd goals.
New Albany Pregnancy Checking Pricing
$6-$9 per head for groups of 15+ head. Includes recordkeeping and management consultation.
