How many still breed on natural heats? I've got 7 heifers in group of 9 that are out of our herd sire so I plan on AIing them. Being healthy heifers, they're all showing strong heat cycles and usually 2 or 3 will be in heat on the same day. My biggest concern is when I get home from work and see a heifer in heat I won't have a good idea how long she's been in heat. I've got plenty of semen from one of our bulls and I've been thinking about AIing her in the evening and then again in the morning.
Any thoughts on this?
I really don't want to set them up for a timed breeding.
