[QUOTE="Beef11, post: 293762, member: 2705"] To bad i've been out of town i missed this thread, I did just read it front to back though. I being a proponent of forwarding genetics am of course a fan of AI and ET, it seems not everyone shares my enthusiasm. For starters about the big commercial ranches not using AI, I know True Ranches in Wyoming AI's over 1000 annually they are in the top 10 as far as size goes if i'm not mistaken. I know the biggest cow calf Operation in the US (florida) Uses AI to some degree. Both of these ranches are commercial. I know of several little ranches (200-400 cows) that use AI as well. That being said I really enjoy seeing the bull out with the cows and believe he has a place in modern ranching. There are many many options as far as breeding programs go. You eastern folks with cattle that come at a whistle probably have more options than the rest of us when it comes to AI. Some ranches have a hard time gathering cattle as many times as it requires to implement a synchro and AI protocol, they have to improvise or do without i see it as a marked disadvantage for the operation. AI can lower breeding costs, improve genetics, Put more pounds of calf across the scale, make the grass hold out longer and let a rancher look at a better bull in the pasture. Explore your options.
