[QUOTE="Jake, post: 1066004, member: 4"] Purposely implanting twins is a horrible idea especially with the cost associated with fullblood wagyu embryos. The risk of dystocia and death loss is exponentially higher. Your "cheap" dairy heifers are not as cheap as you think. You will have two years of feed in them before they maybe have a calf as there is a chance your buying free martins. With the beef heifers you will have a much faster turn around on your investment. If your hell bent on buying bottle calves to use as eventual recips why not by beef bottle calves? With all of the diseases running rampant in the dairy barn from Johnes to Leukosis and everything else I see NO reason to mess with them especially at the prices you stated. [/QUOTE]
