A.I. ing hiefers

We use MGA. The past couple years we've been having 90%+ conception rates on it.

90% of all the heifers in the protocol or 90% of the ones you breed?

Of the ones that responded to the MGA. We always have a few that don't respond to it so they get pasture bred.

We lutlyse and breed for ten days then relutlyse and breed the left-overs. I do prolly fourty every year and very seldom miss one.. It's the only thing I can say that I'm pretty good at... I did have a hiefier that never came into heat this spring and come to find out this fall she had a calf in the pasture.. She got bred as a calf..... :roll: both are fine...

How many re-use CIDR's, my Genex rep. didn't recommend it but I read on CT that some do. So I cleaned mine and put them in the freezer. Have to decide come July what to do.

Used CIDR's twice. After the first use, I washed them in Nolvasan, air dried them and put them in zip-lock bags. Stored them some place cool & dry, like the basement.

Just my HONEST opinion! Seeing how I AI several thousand a year. And I am no expert, you need to ask the purebred breeders that breed just a few a year and or have another job not related to the cattle industry that know all there is to know :lol: :roll:[/quote]

I thought I was doing just that!
not asking for someone to make their self proclaimed superiority over the rest of the posters :roll: :roll: :roll:

RMUG your opinion is appreciated your greater than thou attitude is NOT[/quote]

Do not do it. Been there done what you did and would not do it again.

64-65% I think is the national average.

That's what I think too.

80% makes us all smile.
