Fall AI Breeding Who are you using?

[jscunn]

I know some of you have already started and/or finished AI breeding for fall of 2018 Calves. What did you use or plan on using? used on cows? heifers?

We are using 3 bulls
Deer Valley All In (cows and heifers)
Sydgen Wake up Call (cows and heifers)
Sydgen Black Diamond (cows and heifers)

Split the heifers equally with all three, using the Black Diamond bull alittle heavier than the other two on the cows.

What are you using?

 

[Lazy M]

Used 3F Epic on cows and heifers (25 total) this fall. Hope to get a couple terminal bulls out of this group.

 

[bse]

Used Raindance, Respnse, and Pay weight 1682 to flush. Used the same + Legend, Southside, and Rainier 111127 to A I cows. Used Acclaim and Manning on heifers

 

[pdfangus]

Have Bred four to Claymont of Wye
bred one to 7AN426 Conversation..... sexed semen trying for a heifer.
three weeks will be this weekend when I have also synced a group of heifers for the neighbor. Some reg red angus and some commercial black. one heifer is 1/4 galloway, 1/4 angus, and 1/2 red angus and she looks just like a galloway. going to breed her red and see what happens...

 

[VAAngus]

We synched 16 cows this fall:
SAV Sensation (3)
SAV Drover (5)
Capitalist (2)
PVF Insight (4)
Ft. Knox (Hereford) 1 commercial cow
Durango 44U (Hereford) 1 commercial cow

Today is 15 days post breeding, so should know how we did by this time next week.

Only cows got AI service this fall. Virgin heifers, most 2-yr olds, and middle- to low-end performers all went to the walking herdsire, a homo black/polled Simmental bull.

Majority of black and BWF cows went to ASR Longevity Y184; best-producing baldy SimAngus cow got an AI service to JF Milestone 999W.

Good-producing Shorthorn-crosses were AI'ed to the Rob Sneed '034' Shorthorn sire.
High% Angus cows that had a history of nicking well with Shorthorns were AI'ed to ArSuLu MacKenzie.
Don't have my records at hand... think there was probably one cow that got an AI service to the Braunvieh sire, Silverwood Dragon 4Y.

Most have passed their return service date and appear to have 'stuck' to the AI service, but a few returned, and the bull will hopfully have caught them on the return service.

That ability to use whatever bull you choose and can afford on which ever cow you want to is the great thing about AI....

 

[blacksnake]

For mature cows I am using SydGen Black Diamond, for heifers I am using SydGen Enhance. Using my bull on a couple of CAC cows and any others that don't conceive AI.

 

[Midtenn]

Musgrave Big Sky on cows
Mar Innovation on cows
Victor719T on brangus x cows
Musgrave aviator on heifers

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

You were probably more interested in Angus bulls, but this is what I used (Simmental of course!)
4 embryos - 2 sired by Executive Order, 1 by Milestone & 1 by Shock Force
AI Sires: Executive Order, Milestone, Classified, Grand Fortune, Mack AF, Innocent Man & 1 Beef Maker
All have been bred/implanted - now waiting for any repeats. Started on 11-17

 

[jscunn]

Not at all Jeanne, hasnt been that long ago that we used Simmental Semen on commercial cows. (Grandmaster)

 

[Warrior2154]

Cows:
weigh up
Fortress
Niagara

Heifers:
Sure fire
Excede---hereford on Hereford heifers.

I have a couple of Grandmaster daughters in my herd. Great looking and very functional, great dams.

 

[Baldie Maker]

Bred most of the heifers (high % RA) to WS High Stakes. We calved in a small sample of his percentage daughters this year and I believe he's going to work alright so with that being said we used our remaining inventory.
Low percentage simmental (1/4 to 3/8) were bred to GW Predestined 701T, with a select few remaining heifers being bred to semen that we've collected on bulls that we own; both of which are Red Angus.

[lithuanian farmer]

AI'd two heifers from 8 so far. Both have BB in them so used easy calving Angus bulls. One is BA another is RA.
Red Angus:

Other heifers will be AI'd soon. Use this bull, or maybe will use other breed, as they aren't that muscled as their friends.
Might use some AI on cows too, for some fresh blood.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

BM - Both bulls look good. I like the looks of the Predestined best, but would not use a carrier.

I've got 2 calves out of pathfinder and they are nice, about a month and a half old growing really well, nice and thick. Have you used him before, if not I think you will like him.

 

[gizmom]

Rollinhills

No we have not used him, his pedigree intrigues me enough to want to sample him. Glad to hear a report on his calves!

Jeanne,
I sold all of the Grandmaster heifers as open yearling heifers, most of them to a very good friend/mentor/customer in Alabama who develops bred heifers and sells them private treaty. He kept a couple of them for himself and seems to be quite happy with them.
