Kenzie says ”Put your coats on!!”

If you’re heading out into the frost, take note of these technician-tested hacks:
- Place your oil and standoff pad in a box turned on its side. Cover the top with a bath towel to trap the heat (it also makes a great hand-warmer between heifers!).
- Switch to canola oil - it has a lower freezing point than vegetable oil and stays fluid longer in the cold.
- Stand on a rubber mat to keep your feet off the frozen concrete and add an extra layer of protection for your probe.
- Use gel pens! Standard ballpoints usually give up once the temperature drops.

Stay warm out there! 🧤

Kenzie says ”Put your coats on!!”

It sure is cold out there! We asked our veteran technician Sam for her best tips on keeping the gear (and yourself) running smoothly when the temperature drops!

1️⃣ Insulate Your Supplies: Put your oil and standoff pad in a box on its side. Use a bath towel over the top to retain heat - it’s a simple way to keep your supplies ready to use and your hands warm.
2️⃣ Pro-tip - canola oil doesn't freeze as fast as vegetable oil. It’s a small change that makes a big difference in sub-zero temps.
3️⃣ Stand on a rubber mat. It keeps your feet warmer than standing on frozen ground or concrete, and it provides a "safety net" if you happen to drop your probe.
4️⃣ Keep some gel pens in your pocket. They won’t freeze up on you like standard pens do.

Bundle up and stay warm out there!

⭐Field Technicians ⭐

As we head later into the season, we’re seeing more heifers come through for scanning. 🐮

To ensure you're getting the most accurate data for your records, keep these "Golden Rules" of scanning in mind:
- You want to see good, crisp top and bottom fat lines.
- Look for clear, rounded rib tops and a nice, even scatter between and below the ribs.
- Make sure to rock your probe ever so slightly to make sure the rib tops are nicely rounded and not dropping.
- Treat every scan with the same level of detail. Whether you are scanning a small ribeye heifer or a big one, consistency is what builds a reliable dataset!

🐄 Why do I need to ultrasound? 🐄
This is a question that we get frequently, and one that we love to answer!
Ultrasounding captures body composition traits that show important carcass traits. These traits are incredibly informative for selection purposes, and beef seedstock producers can use them to make the best decisions for their herd. 📈
Why it’s a game-changer:
Efficiency: Multiple traits important to beef quality and quantity are evaluated simultaneously with one scan session.
Selection: Use real data to decide which animals stay and which go.
Bottom Line: Higher quality data leads to a higher quality herd.
