[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 565627, member: 7398"] Depends what you're doing. 60% is what I get, but I need the genetic diversity for bull sales. People want a bull one year that's not related to what they got 2 years ago. You can manage that to some extent with a herd bull, but it's actually easier to get 60% AI bred 50% of which will be bulls for sale, and the heifers will provide more genetic diversity for future breedings. You could just wait for standing heat which would be cheaper but then you got the time factor. [/QUOTE]
