[QUOTE="ENNOT, post: 340653, member: 3562"] That seems to be the norm with all this sexed semen, it doesn't settle cows as well as conventional semen. I don't expect to see many people using it in their normal breeding program. I do see it being used in flush programs though. And then there is the Bovatel and Affirm technology that Accelerated is promoting. I can't remember which is which, but they provide a better chance of conceiving a female. Guys that tested it in the dairies are pretty convinced by it, there have definitly been more female births. But our cows are calving more heifers to bulls this year, and they weren't bred with this type of semen. Who knows? It is all very interesting. [/QUOTE]
