[QUOTE="Sage, post: 516369, member: 5352"] It doesn't really matter if it is 1 or 1000 head, figure about $20.00ea for the cidr and shots and a few pennies for the labor. We use cidrs with very good results, last year everything was timed AI but we try to heat detect a little from the time cidrs are pulled till breeding. The 72hr period there is always a few that will come in that would be missed just by time breeding. We had a 73% AI conception rate last year on a one service breeding this way. This is on 150hd cow herd. We then use a clean up bull put in a couple weeks after breeding for about 30 days. Open cows (2 this year) are sold and late calvers(2nd heat with the bull) need to get it together or they are gone by the next year(one this year). This works very well for us and helps out for a quick calving season, cosistant calf crop and a very fertile cow herd. [/QUOTE]
