Follicles ?

Hello everyone [emoji846]

This year will be my first breeding season and I have purchased an ultrasound machine to scan my females.

I have attached a screenshot of the measurements and I wanted to know if I am measuring the right thing.

Could you please confirm these are follicles ?
She is a 1.650kg 2019 Super Lesser/Butter .

Thank you so much in advance [emoji846][emoji1317]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ae4c448f96.jpg

Yep, those are follicles! She probably won't be ready anytime soon, but I could imagine it's exciting to try out your machine and see what's going on in there. Best of luck, and I hope your first year breeding goes very well.

I'll ultrasound her once a month and see how they develop.

I have another question [emoji846] :

How small are the follicles in a mature female before they start developing ?

Thank you very much again in advance [emoji846][emoji1317]

They vary, but usually somewhere between 3-5mm. These might be useful:
