What is Pregnancy
Scanning?

Pregnancy scanning is an ultrasound examination that confirms whether a cow is in calf and, when she is, estimates the age of the fetus. Performed early in the breeding cycle, it identifies empties before they cost another season of feed, flags twins so you can plan for them, and gives you the data to make management decisions with confidence rather than guesswork.

Based in Albury-Wodonga and servicing herds across Victoria and New South Wales, Herdlinx delivers this technology paddock-side with portable equipment, eliminating transport stress and minimising downtime. Every animal is scanned and recorded individually, giving you a clear, immediate picture of your herd's reproductive status before we even leave your yards.

Common questions

How early can you scan cattle for pregnancy?

Ultrasound can confirm pregnancy from around 28–30 days post-conception, though most producers prefer to scan between day 35 and 90 for the most reliable fetal aging.

How accurate is ultrasound pregnancy scanning?

When performed by an experienced operator on cows scanned within the recommended window, accuracy sits at or above 95%. We scan every cow individually and double-check anything ambiguous before recording it.

Can you detect twins during scanning?

Yes. Twins are identified during the scan and noted on your records so those cows can be managed differently through the lead-up to calving.
