[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1148962, member: 9267"] Since the AI techs visit dairy farms here once a day, it's pretty standard to breed everything in full standing heat, and everything that has come into heat since the previous visit. I tend to do that even if I'm breeding twice a day - which I do mainly when there are more cows on in 24 hrs than I want to AI at once - because my memory is like a sieve and can't handle a twelve hour delay between heat and breeding. Conception rates are still pretty good. Standing heat plus twelve hours is supposed to be optimal, but I don't think there's much difference in it. One thing with the uncertain heats is you can always do her again if you've mated her when she's coming in to heat... but if you wait several hours after the initial signs and she never does come into standing heat, you've missed a chance at what was most likely a fertile, silent, heat. It's never an easy decision. [/QUOTE]
