AI has been arguably one of the most valuable inventions in the cattle industry of all time. Being able to economically tap into elite genetics and improve the genetic base of one’s herd simply makes sense for any good rancher. However, there is still substantial investment – both in terms of finances and labor – required for AI programs to succeed. Bullseye Electronic Heat Detection Systems help to ensure a safer investment. Mark Beach, Limousin breeder and founder of Bullseye Heat Detection System spoke with us about his product. Mark explains the value of Bullseye to ranchers looking to improve their AI breeding system. Listen here: Here’s how it works: Place a monitor in the pouch and place it on the cow’s back When the cow is mounted the time is recorded in the unit on the cow The easy-to-use handheld device can retrieve the data from over 100 feet away Mounting data is securely stored on the cow and available  to the rancher Why it works: ranchers no longer have to waste critical time visually recognizing when a cow is in heat. This makes an AI program less time-consuming, more efficient, and in the end a ranch more profitable. Bullseye Heat Detection System was created by Mark Beach in 1993 and has successfully been used in many programs ranging from 1 – 1,000 cow herds.
