[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 796849, member: 968"] Some people believe they should only flush 1 time than breed for natural calf, but my cows are flushed every 60 days, 5 times then rebred for a natural calf. So, basically, she is flushed 1 year, & carries her own calf 1 year. Our cows are flushed in coop with Hudson Pines Farm. They keep the cows there & do all the flushing (basically, they lease the cows from us). The embryologist microscopes the embryos & determines if they are good enough for fresh implants or for freezing. I think the national average is about 5 good embryos. It sounds like you are wanting to flush, just to flush. WHY do you want to flush? The only reason a cow should be flushed is because she is SUPERIOR and her genetics should be increased for improving your own herd or for a sale item. And, if you want to sell embryos, they have to be more than just something in your herd that you like. I'll try the pic again: [img]http://www.simmevalley.com/K1-1%20low%20pix.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
