[QUOTE="redfornow, post: 839917, member: 1580"] I feel the bull a heifer is bred to comes down to value. In a registered herd a heifer is gonna be worth 3 to 6 times what a comm heifer will sell for or more.... So it stands to reason that the extra time and money spent in AI and camera's and watching would be worth it as the return is greater. Whereas your average commercial guy is about pounds, with as few worries as possible. Here in ky most farmers are working second jobs or cattle is the second job behind row crops tobacco and now farmers markets. There isnt time in the day to watch a screen to see if a heifer gets it out. I'm not saying it the right way, its just what I see. So I understand the interest in a "bullet proof" way of calving out heifers, people been looking for that for years and I would imagine will continue for as long as cattle are here. [/QUOTE]
