We have 20 cow/ calf pairs. All our cows are very good producers and raise great calves. They rang from three 2yo hefiers to mostly 4 and 5 yo. We normally calve in feb/ mar and then sell the following February. We only retain the top three hefiers each year and cull any cows that do not...

Are you finding it harder to get Rainfall semen now? I was able to get 50 straws from our rep.

This is our first year doing AI but we are using Tehama Tahoe and SAV Rainfall. Also have a few straws of HPCA Veracious in the tank as well.

They had a few used tanks but ended up buying a brand new xc-20 from them for 590.00 and they filled it up with LN. Also found a local rep to buy some semen from and have straws purchased and in the tank now. Time to wait for may to get here and start our first round of ai. Thanks for all the help.
