[QUOTE="CKC1586, post: 521564, member: 816"] Flushing is a good way to increase your herd in a shorter period of time but can be costly. I don't know if you have folks to choose from in your area as far as embryologists, but find one and go talk to them. We only have one in our area and he sure is busy but he is very good too! We like to wait till the heifer has calved before starting a flush program. (This is at our embryologists recommendation). You will have the cost of the semen you use and the embryologist fees, if you end up with many embryos you can come out cost effective. If you don't get many or any can be very costly. Then you need to have good recips to put the embryo in and not all will take. Luckily my brother has been averaging 75% success on the recips taking. It has been very worthwhile to him. The cost to take the cow to our guy and have the process done is around $1200 to $1500. But the last few we have done we did our own shots and prep and AI then took the cow to him to flush which reduced the cost considerably. Sorry this is so long.... but anyway this is how we do it here. [/QUOTE]
