[QUOTE="txag, post: 51308, member: 8"] i put "great breeders" in quotes because there was a thread about "great breeders" in texas & i was talking about one of the ones rgv4 listed. i'm also reading it that they're making sure they get their cows settled but i think it's a little excessive & way more handling & management than is needed and like showmom said, can get really expensive. even embryologists usually only a.i. twice, not 3 times! i'd [i]hope[/i] that anyone breeding 3 times would have really high conception rates. the majority of the time i a.i. as dun & rgv4 said they a.i........once, 12 hours after standing heat. sometimes w/my schedule it's not always exactly 12 hours & even on occasion we've bred them at the end of a standing heat if i'm not gonna be around 12 hours later. we've had success doing it this way as well but not as good as waiting the 12 hours. if i only count the cows i breed at the right time, my percentage is probably up around 90. if you add the early breeders, it probably drops to 75-80. you may want to check, but i never [i]claimed[/i] to have overly high percentage rates. unfortunately i'm not lucky enough to be home 24/7 so we settle for what we can get.
