[QUOTE="Josher, post: 1656471, member: 37963"] My ai rep got us on a 10 day window. We used to go off of natural heats. But now we do 7 days on natural heat and then give the remaining ones a shot of estrumate and then whoever else is able to cycle will come in heat in next few days but we usually wait 5 more days. So 12 days total. Also there are studies that say u can Ai once a day and conception rates will not change. Heat detection pads are a life saver. If you use heat detection pads, u could get by with only checking once a day preferably early morning and AI whatever cows that the stickers have been rubbed. Wouldn’t actually take that much work with this system. After u ai each cow u may still have to put another estrotect sticker on to be sure they don’t come in heat again. Or for clean up u could make a deal with a neighbor to run your cows with his till breeding season is over. [/QUOTE]
