[QUOTE="BRAFORDMAN, post: 931083, member: 14817"] Maybe conventional is the way to go if I was going to AI once. I would be Ai'ing 8 head some will have calves on them. I have to take them to a guy to Ai them. I do not live at my ranch and I do not have someone to watch them as close as they would need to detect who has come back in heat. And room and board isn't cheap where i take them. So they can't stay 3 weeks to see if they come back in. Too costly! I have 2 brahman bulls one red and one grey. And i have a nelore bull(registered as a brahman). They aren't throw away bulls. They will help improve my herd. But I will also need more females that are unrelated to the bulls. And with the cost of cattle, I will not be buying registered replacements anytime soon. So breeding them is the most affordable option. So AI is a chance to get some unrelated females. But heifers from my bulls will be kept as well. [/QUOTE]
