[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1657455, member: 13402"] I won’t flush a heifer, no matter what the genetics they may be excellent but for me it has to be a combination of things for a cow to earn donor status. Of course she has to have the genetics but she also has to have produced several calves with a ratio over 100 and have the phenotype I want to propagate. Flushing is an expensive process so I want to get the best calves I can, heck the cattle business is enough of a gamble without flushing heifers lol. Just one old ladies opinion not that it’s worth much. We will be putting eggs in on Wednesday and then turning a bull out with that group on Thursday after that we are in coast mode just checking daily to see that all the bulls are getting the job done. We will be putting embryos in out of cows that have proven themselves so hopefully will have good results. [/QUOTE]
