[QUOTE="dun, post: 527853, member: 34"] I can;t keeep all the questions stright so I'll hit a likc on the ones I remember. Most dairys do their AI thermselves, the only cost is a buck or so for glove lube and sheath plus the cost of the semen. There is generally a high demand for dairy heifers because there is always a dairy erspansion going on somewhere. Most dairy coes only make it through a couple of lactations before they're culled. Some dairys breed to low BW bulls for the first calf, but those that do AI and know what they're looking for will use a Holstein or Jersey with proven calving ease. That eleiminates the throw away calf for first fresheners. Using lowline on a Holstein would basicly generate the equivilent of an oversized Dexter. A little more milk then a dairy animal, less then a beef animal, pretty much a compromise that is neither fish nor fowl. Bite the bullet and buy some old dairy cows of your own and breed them, or use the lowline semen on some cheap beef cows. [/QUOTE]
