[QUOTE="WarEagle73, post: 1612974, member: 19171"] Ive tried that protocol as well as using CIDRs to synchronize the cows into tighter windows for heat detection. If you are already doing heat detection, I would just extend your heat detection window by a couple days and get rid of the timed breeding. Anything that doesn’t respond, either set them up again with a later group or turn the bull in. I agree that I don’t like putting semen into cows that don’t show heat, even though I know it works. I just don’t like wasting expensive semen. For me, I especially feel this way on heifers. To me, heifers are so much easier to breed on heats and I like to know they are cycling. To answer your question, I think your numbers are pretty close to normal. Track who you bred on time and see what the conception rate is like on that set compared to the cows bred on heats. [/QUOTE]
