So I'm looking for advice on breeding my small herd. We have only four females to breed this year, a second calf cow and three heifers. Originally we were planning on using AI and a synchronization program. I'm beginning to think that may not be the smartest route. I'm questioning the original plan because I'm watching her close and having trouble getting good standing heat dates on her. Lots of blood dates but they are not very consistent. She's tracking +/- 1-2 days on a 21 day cycle. I'm considering trying to find a neighbour with a good heifer bull and bring them to the bull. We won't be doing the AI service ourselves so we'd have to call it in. For same day service we have to call before 8am the day of. Obvious timing concerns. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
