We popped off our highest success rate so far in our short lifetime as a cattle company (6 years). Depending on the sets, we used a 14 day co-synch or a 7 day co-synch...both with CDRS.
Yearling heifers - 66%
Second calf cows (one calf on the ground) - 76%
Cows - 80.1%
We had a 90% breed up rate overall sets. We're pretty happy with that. We keep a tight window. All sets get their AI session and 50 days (2 cycles) after and that is it. As we like to say, "they'll earn their way on the team or off the team" based on fertility.
I honestly was a bit disappointed in the yearling heifers. We may have had them too fat honestly. We need to improve that for sure. We don't have the labor to heat-detect.
How is everyone doing this year on their AI success rates?
