[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 844213, member: 968"] novaman- EXACTLY!!! There are all these fancy sync programs, but, if you are willing to heat check, the most reliable, cheapest way is two pg shots 11 days apart. Heat ck for 5 days, breed everything you see in heat, pg the rest, heat check & breed, pg the remaining ones not already bred. CIDR's will MAKE them come into heat, and will "kick-start" ones that are not cycling --- but --- you are looking at a subfertile heat cycle - some will settle, some won't. You would actually be better off breeding them on their next normal cycle. But pg will not MAKE a cow come into heat. It only works if they already have a CL. That is why CIDR's work so well for recips. It makes them cycle on an exact time schedule, and you don't CARE if her egg is subfertile - you are not going to use her egg! [/QUOTE]
