    Which protocol to use?

    Ok good to know and i wonder if some of the ones that don’t cycle in the 12 days could be from five the pg shot too early. I do struggle with being patient. I wonder if there’s a way to tweak this so it would go quicker. Could i give pg on day one, and day 6. Might help get some more cows out of...

    Which protocol to use?

    Breeding twice a day using am/pm rule. Except for the sexed semen tried waiting a little longer 18-24 hr. And we use gnrh when AI only after they have been given estrumate just to improve our rate a little as recommended by my AI rep. He said it’s proven to help and with the cost of everything...

    SAV Renovation

    I came close to using him. Haven’t yet. But brooking angus use him year after year and can’t get enough of him. Apparently his daughters are top notch. The only reason I haven’t used him was that the frame size is just a little on low side for my environment. I’m sure others on here have used him.

    AI Dairy vs Beef

    I only did AI on one dairy cow so I can’t say much but I’ve heard it’s a lot harder to get them to catch compared to beef cows. If I was trying to give myself best chance would be to AI on natural heats. And use the am/pm rule.
