Is it worth using 3 straws? I had 45% conception this year as compaird to 60% last year. Same cows and same AI technician. Semen is getting high on some bulls. I wanted to use Crossover 14509685. Semen 60 and 40 dollar certs.

Their has been some research that shows that they ovulate earlier in the cycle. Or they did not know exactly when the cow started standing.

I do this depending on whether I'm sure when she started standing. If I'm not sure, I'll do one early and one later. I won't do that with $60 semen though.
