How do l go about getting my sheep scanned to see if they are in lamb ? Do they come out to you ?
What sort of price should l expect to pay ? :sheep:

We pay £30 plus VAT - that's our scanner's basic rate. Not sure how many that includes - we had 15 scanned this year. After the basic number, whatever that is, it's so much per ewe but since we haven't reached the maximum yet ...
Gillian comes here; herscannes is mobile ie in a back pack. so we just pen the sheep in a wee pen and she and we go in with them, scanning and marking with however many lambs they're carrying. Takes about 30 minutes from arrival to departure :thumbsup:
Where are you?
