[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1426481, member: 20580"] This is the most logical choice! Why waste time and money on a female that will not stick to AI when the bull can settle her? Turn her out with the bull, if she settles to calve early in your program then attempt AI with her the next year. This is why we sync and only do 1 heat cycle with our AI group because if they don't come in heat or settle to the AI service the bull will likely settle them on the next heat cycle and she'll hopefully calve early enough she may get another shot at AI the next breeding season. We had a huge gap between our last 2 calves this year with the next to last calf on April 10th and the last calf on May 30th. If that last cow doesn't breed up to about May 1 next year she probably is going to town. She usually weans an above average calf but having cows that are just calving the same time you turn the bull out is a pain in the arse for us. Like to keep our calving season to start late Feb and be done before May 1. [/QUOTE]
