    Lutalyse HighCon

    SAV Bismark

    We used him two years back on 15 heifers or so and had good luck calving ease so we bred more heifers to him this year. I think we pulled 2 calves out of 26 this year.

    MGA Withdrawl

    We are going to use a long term CIDR protocol this year for heifers and they are currently on MGA in a drylot setting. Does anyone know or have information on how long before synchronization protocol begins should we stop feeding MGA?

    Make a recomendation

    Not sure if we will use the 14 day protocol or the 7 this year. 14 is nice because you can give prebreeding vaccinations at time of CIDR insertion and it eliminates a trip through the chute. We had just under 56% conception using the 14 day protocol. I would be curious if anyone has used both...
