[QUOTE="blacksnake, post: 911527, member: 566"] Here are a couple of suggestions concerning your possible ET work. First I would look at the donor cows that these embyros came from. Look at their production record. Look at their phenotype. Are they good structured momma cows? How are the udders? How is their docility? What is the sire of the embyros. Ask same questions about the sire or the dam of the sire. I consider ET work to be a long term investment and a lot of upfront thought and consideration should go into it. I personally think ET should only be done on the best and most proven cows and sires. Are you getting sexed embyros? are your recip cows suitable to raise a good calf. Unless you are getting heifer sexed embryos and both the dam and the sire are better than what you can get by AI ing your best cows, it may not be a good idea. Hopefully it will work out. [/QUOTE]
