    Follicles ?

    Hello everyone

    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

    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 :

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

    Thank you very much again in advance

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