    Ten X vs Discovery

    I have a lot of both. Those discovery females are super slick though. I keep all of my discovery females. Discovery bulls don't sell that well though.

    Flushing

    Nine eggs is strong! That's a great flush. Yeah, we don't have a written agreement with them on the eggs but they have taken care of us before when things didn't take. Make sure you don't tell them I told you though! We also just bought $25K of eggs from them. We love their operation.

    Flush to whom?

    A pretty good farm in our part of the country has been using Jindra for a while but Double Vision and others clearly never had the hype as Acclaim.

    Putting bulls with your cows around the fixed time AI?

    I would never do that but that's just me. I've never known putting bulls in with what are essentially going to be hot cows as a good thing. Especially when you're not wanting them to breed.

    Flushing

    You know who I buy most of my eggs from and they do a 50% guaranty for me. We use a certified embryologist. I will find out how my own flush eggs did next week when the vet comes out. I am on pins and needles because my favorite cow ever only had three eggs this last flush, I have no progeny...

    I've bought from Universal and never had a problem. I don't remember what it cost to ship but I always figure about $100. I don't pay that much attention.

    Flushing with sexed semen ?

    It depends on where you go and what you do (storage, drugs, etc.) but it seems about $1500-$3000 per flush. I know that's a big range but there are a lot of variables.

    Flushing with sexed semen ?

    It's interesting to hear Dr. Spears say that. I use Multigen here in Kentucky and they have had great results using sexed semen conventional for us and they certainly do not discourage its use. Also, while IVF has come a long ways, I know a lot of buyers and auctioneers for that matter that...

    That's just odd. The straws could have been bad because I have never heard of that kind of result before.

    Flushing with sexed semen ?

    I also think your embryologist has a lot to do with it. There are a lot of variables there. For example, one flush I did out of a cow I got 5 first time through. Next cycle they slightly adjusted the drugs and I got 8. I have another group of sexed semen embryos getting ready to hit the...

    Flushing with sexed semen ?

    I strongly disagree with that. I regularly used sexed semen in flushing and do just fine with conventional flushes. Plus, the quality of eggs are generally much better with a conventional flush and the cost is cheaper. You may have to use an extra straw but still much more cost effective.

    Question about embryos...

    We just put in some of their eggs last week. I think we had some Abigale's in there but it was too many to remember. Send me pics when yours hit! I'd love to see them!
