As I understand it a good scanner will be able to pick up on whether most are pregnant or empty at 30 days.  To be sure and to know how many 50 to 70 days.  We put our tups in on October 20th and expect the scanner around Boxing Day.

Thank you
Same period for us but it looks like they seems to have been covered 1 per week
I think if I look to the first mating it should be ok
No to find a scanner
