[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1549573, member: 37967"] I realized that I failed to mention that the times where I had to AI multiple times were almost always to older cows and it’s not often the case with heifers. I find that AI’ng a cow that is over 8 years old becomes a more challenging thing to accomplish. Some settle just fine, others seem to take a while. Most people I have spoken with don’t bother AI’ng older cows, but I have a few over 12 years old that I like how they have performed and how they look for their age, therefore I want their genetics crossed with an AI sire in a new calf. Is it ideal to AI old cows, probably not, but they do tend to be really good mothers and can handle calving with no issues. [/QUOTE]
