    Re: Follicle size and ovulation question.

    Last year was my first breeding season and I could not feel follicles even though I tried several times before she ovulated. I finally felt follicles this season and it is amazing to feel them get bigger over time. It just takes practice.

    Re: Follicle size and ovulation question.

    So I just palpated Akina and her follicles feel either just under the size of a golf ball or right at the size of a golf ball. I looked up the diameter of a golf ball in mm and it said about 42mm. So I'm guessing they are somewhere between 35-40mm.

    Your getting closer...........................Keep waiting! I have girls that seem to have been sitting at 35-40mm for a while. I need ovulation pics when it happens to believe you though.

    Re: Follicle size and ovulation question.

    I found this page that helped me estimate how big her follicles were. They are not life size but you can get an idea. Akina's follicles are right around 35mm now that I look at it. When I first felt them they were probably around 0.5 inch.
