[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1172660, member: 16769"] Rogergreaves and Nesi -- No, I don't remember the names of the Lowline folks that were at that AI workshop. But here's a link to Lowline breeders in the NW. [url]http://westernstateslowline.com/[/url] We DO do the synch and the cidrs. We had no live bull on the place, and of 7 bred AI, we got 5 calves. Only 1 of the cows had a second round of AI (she calved). We preg-checked 6 via blood draw test at about 40 days on the first round, and one came up open (we figured she might). Two of 6 girls for test absolutely would not give up any tail blood. Of those two, one calved and one didn't. The 7th cow was in roaring/raging heat when we drew blood from the others, so we bred her then and she calved behind the others. We figured that was about 70% avg.
