[QUOTE="skcatlman, post: 367690, member: 5562"] If you only have 10 hfrs to breed i would suggest going AI. Synchronze them and get a AI technician in if one is close. Going from the books a average tech will get 60 - 65% on the first go and if he/she hits that again second go that leaves maybe one heifer for the bull, if you are lucky he/she will get a better conception rate and when you work it out alot less cost than buying a bull for only 10 head. Last year i custom AI bred for a neighbor 20 heifers that were sycned and he got a great rate, like always when i AI for someone else they get a better conceptiuon rate than at home 19 hfrs struck on the first round. As well you can use a proven calving ease bull that will give some performance on the back end. Up here one ABS tech is charging flat rates including semen from proven bulls on commercial cows of $35 per head for small groups sycned. Just some food for thought. [/QUOTE]
