[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 826846, member: 968"] That would have been a nightmare! If she calves out in the wild - that embryo calf is likely to be a bit wild - not what you would be looking for in a top calf :shock: Since I don't have any commercial cattle and really don't have any bottom end cows (not bragging - just how it is), I don't put a lot of embyos in my cows. I sell most of the embryos, but at the beginning of the season (like now), cows that already cycled & aren't my very best ones, I'll set up for an embryo, then still have time to AI any that don't settle. I decided it wasn't any different than if they had produced me a steer that year. Nothing lost - lots to gain - since these cows may be good - but not as good as the donor cows. [/QUOTE]
