A lot of people don't use it at start. Your spending $10-12 on a Cidr + $25 on semen so I always say why skimp on the $2.75 shot of GnRH if you got it or can get asap? If heifers with unknown heats, I wouldn't waste my time putting them in mine. Especially if they are borderline young (under 14 months) GnRH seems to jump start them heifers.
