Breeding season can feel simple on paper, then real life shows up: a mare not cycling as expected, a stallion with inconsistent semen quality, or timing that keeps slipping by a day or two. At Townsend Vet Albury we provide stud and broodmare care to help you make confident decisions, from pre-breeding checks through to pregnancy monitoring and foaling preparation.

Stud and Broodmare FAQs
Just a few common questions about Stud and Broodmare. If there is something else you need to know just ask in the Contact Us form below!
When is the best time to breed in Australia?
Many mares cycle best as daylight length increases, so planning often starts in late winter through spring, depending on your goals and breed. We can help map out a schedule based on your mare’s cycling pattern and service method.
How soon can you check for pregnancy?
Pregnancy scanning is often done early to confirm pregnancy and check for twins, then repeated later to confirm ongoing development. The exact timing depends on the mare and your breeding plan.
My mare keeps returning to heat. What are common reasons
Timing that’s just slightly off is common, especially with chilled semen or irregular cycles. Other causes include post-service uterine inflammation, uterine fluid, infection, or age-related uterine changes. A step-by-step plan usually finds the sticking point.
What should I bring to the consult?
Bring breeding dates, teasing notes, previous scan or lab results, vaccination history, and any relevant stallion paperwork. If you have none of that, don’t stress, we can still start with a practical exam and a plan.
