[QUOTE="MichaelB, post: 735704, member: 8794"] I'm glad I talked to you guys. ;) I do have a Medina hinge setup for holding my cows, which one of the longhorn breeders on this board told me about, and I use that for worming and vaccinations. The AI tech didn't seem to want to use that, and part of the cost was coming back out to insert the CIDRs. I thought her prices were awfully high, especially if I was going to take my girls to their establishment to be bred. Even in my part of Virginia I didn't think that was a very competitive price, so I will investigate other possible sources of AI. I also agree with MO_Cows that live cover probably won't give me the EPDs for birthweight and weaning weights that I will want, not to mention the increased risk of disease. Thanks, I really appreciate your perspectives. Michael [/QUOTE]
