Hay Plains Livestock has announced an additional arm to the family business.

“It is with great pride that Hay Plains Livestock add the services of D.R.L – Cattle Scanning to their business model,” Hay Plains Livestock principal Ed Lilburne said.

Earlier in the year Digby Lilburne completed the nationally accredited ReproScan Cattle Pregnancy Testing Course through GOTAFE in Shepparton, Victoria.

“Livestock grazing operations have many factors in their business that are out of their control,” Mr Lilburne said.  

“Inflation, drought, feed costs and cattle markets. It is therefore more important than ever to make informed management decisions.   

“Do you know the cost of an empty cow on your operation?”

Mr Lilburne points out that empty animals continue to consume resources including feed, labour, and more.  

“Each operation is different but one thing all operations have in common is that input prices are going up.  

“An empty cow is not adding value to a grazing business.”

Mr Lilburne said pregnancy testing early with an ultrasound unit makes pregnancy diagnosis a very simple, non-invasive, quick, and accurate method.
