[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 665874, member: 968"] I also believe in early AI for increased heifer ratio. I can't give a %, but you definately have lower conception breeding early. You are taking the risk of ALL the sperm dying before the egg is released. We breed early the first 3-4 weeks, then breed normal - going for conception. We ALWAYs get the majority of heifers the first month of calving. Last year, we had lots of replacement heifers, so I purposely did not breed anything early. We ended up with 2:1 bulls to heifers. Which was just what I wanted. [/QUOTE]
