[QUOTE="dun, post: 503540, member: 34"] If you're getting less then 75% first service conceptions either your heat detection skills or AI skills need some work or the cows need to find a home in the freezer. Ours get 2 bites at the apple, that's it. We've only had one in a good many years that would have required more then that, she had an infection in the ankle joint, she's in someones freezer now. With proper handling a tank can be hauled around a lot without having any problems. I used to haul my tank 365 days a year and did that for better then 8 years and never had a problem. That was back in the custom AI days, that tank covered a whole lot of miles and when I sold the business I got 1/2 the price I had paid for the tank. ABS and I'm sure the other studs have specials on semen when you can get a discount. There are a lot of good bulls available in the 16-20 buck range. We used a bull for cleanup in 2006 and again in 2007. He's down the road and there will never be another bull on the place. Never used a cleanup bull before, don;t see any sense in doing it again. Using natural heats our normal calving season ran around 52 days, with a bull it ended up 170 days. Since I wasn;t doing the heat detection I didn;t see the late breeders. [/QUOTE]
