We do this until the end of November when we ultrasound everyone.
Females under 10 mm folicals get a blue dot
10 - 15 get a yellow dot, (watch and see)
15-45 green dot (good to go)
45 and up get a red dot ( egg walk every day)

The females with green dots get the male for 2 days and the ones with yellow dots get the male for 1 day, red dots do not see the males at all anymore. Blue dots might get a visit but they generaly will get skiped over.

We ultrasound once a month, more if I have time.

NP, We bought our first ultrasound in 08. I found that it was the price of one of the high priced male morphs, but using is was like getting 2 males for the price of one. Some females will go every year some will take a year off, Some are on the winter scedual and some are on a spring scedual. I have only had a couple that laid their eggs in December and without the machine I might have missed them all together.
