[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1815925, member: 42782"] This morning I could tell something was going on. Daphne, the old cow, was charging and butting Honeydew away whenever she approached. That is because Honeydew had been trying to mount her, a dominant behavior not liked by the dominant cow. Then she came over and put her chin on me with that crazy look in her eye. So the AI guy came with a big box truck full of semen tanks and liquid nitrogen. I got to look through a catalog of Jersey bulls and all their traits! The pictures were of the bull's daughters. It was like a Playboy Magazine of cows! The Cleavage, the teat placement and length. He has average amount of milk, large percentage butterfat, and large amount of cheese. I selected a bull named JX Stoney. He has New Zealand bulls in his pedigree for production on grass. Not those tiny little 2 finger teats. Good flat topline tail section so the urine of the heifers does not run down into their cervix. The tech communicating by telephone showed up exactly in the 6 hours cows are fertile. He could tell by the mouting behavior on my old cow and even how often Honeydew chews her cud. Should be under 40 seconds, not several minutes like not bulling cows. Honeydew was good in the squeeze chute we made out of corral panels, now no longer a virgin. This was so much better than the constant stress for me worrying about when is the neighbor's heifer bull going to be delivered. And, not another half Angus meat calf, but a purebred sex selected semen 92% chance of a heifer. And, for a calf delivered in April at grassus maximus. All for $75 bucks. [/QUOTE]
