I am just wondering what you all are using? What's gives the best catch rate and is cost effective for you?
Right now we are AI ing over a 12 day span. Heat detect and ai 5 days then give PG on day 5 and heat detect and AI and give GnRh same time over the next 7 days. After 12 days we are done. Also use estrotec to help with heat detection. Of those that we AI usually right around 80% will catch. And there's maybe 10%-20% that don't cycle in that window. Biggest cost of this is my labour and the feed. Not sure what this protocol is called but it's what we've been doing for the last few years on cows.
