    Ultrasound Question

    My youngest son has a Brangus heifer that we gave a shot of Lute, she cycled on May 30 and has been in the breeding pen with the bull since.  The bull did his part and he has not paid her any attention, even though she acted as if coming back in.  How long should I wait to have her ultrasounded...
