[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 769000, member: 6543"] I will take 78% first service all day long. I have never heard about this not going thru the cervix stuff. A heifer is no more prone to infection than a cow. I adopted sheat covers when I found them and alway use them to address ick issues. I have been breeding for 35 years..... so now I like to breed heifers and to me they are easier than cows..... but that is with 35 years and thousands of services. It did not get that way easy. One of the first groups I ever bred was big group of heifers and I was having a terrible time. I was having bad self doubt issues. then I realized that it was this one group and the other group was much easier. then the cows were a snap. Then the boss bred a few one weekend and I learned from a coworker that he also had a terrible time with heifers from the big group. My confidence rebounded and the boss later in the year was bragging on his cow mans AI percentages. We never did figure out why that group was so hard to breed. the conceptions were good and they made good cows but those first services were tough. [/QUOTE]
