[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1476939, member: 27490"] Farm Report: Cows: Assuming the last cow bred, passes on Tuesday. I AI bred 16 cows since Thanksgiving. On 17 AI services, all 16 cows are bred based on observation. For a conception rate of 94 %. In addition to the 16 cows, I bred 5 heifers. Jury is still out so I will list them individually. Optimum Price: Bred once, has passed 2 cycles without returning to heat. Mabel (Bred to Cowboy Cut and sold to a CT user). She stuck to second service. Daisy: Bred once, has passed 1 cycle without returning to heat. Summer: Bred 3 times. Waiting for her to pass her first cycle. If she comes back in. I will have to haul her to a bull. Shear Alice: Stuck on first service. She Lost her pregnancy. Last attempt at AI, I could not get in her cervix. I even went back out after an hour and tried a second time. What is odd, is that she was easy on first AI. Conclusion. Cows were easy. My cows are all fertile. I have cows bred to have their 5 th calves that have never seen a bull. Heifers were not as easy. 3 of 5 are observed bred. Interesting, I usually don't observe any difference between cows and heifers. This year it was like night and day. As far as breeding short versus long, I see no difference. Another observation, I did not always get an observable standing heat but the results were still the same. [/QUOTE]
