• Provide an area for heat detec
tion where there is good footing.
• Observe for cstrus when cattle
are not distracted by feeding, milk
ing or other farm activities.
• Set a schedule for twice daily
observation for estrous behavior.
• During warmer months,
observe the herd during the cooler
hours of the day or evening.

Good Heat Detection
• Research has shown that the
majority of mounting of cows in
heat is performed by cows in
proestnus or estrus. Very few
mounts are exhibited by cows in
midcycle. Thus allow all cows to
interact so as to increase the
chance of having a "willing" ani
mal available to mount the cow in
heat.
• Establish a foot care and hoof
trimming program so that sore feet
don't hinder mounting activity.
• Use heat detection aids to sup
plement visual observation.
Since estrous detection takes
time, use your time efficiently.
Observe for heat on a routine basis
at times and in areas where cattle
are likely to exhibit heat.
This should improve both the
efficiency and accuracy of heat
detection and thus result in less
semen wastage and a more profit
able calving interval.
