[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1550995, member: 37967"] I’m not being defensive, just showing you how we do things here. To each their own. I liked the Dairymaster system from day one, but took a long time to pull the trigger on it. The system was designed for dairy cattle, and it was not a sure thing for beef, but it works. As for how we did It before? We just tried to observe, and watch for the signs. We got cows and heifers settled, but not as efficiently as we do now. Whoever is not bred by 3rd week of February (BioPRYN test) is going to be serviced by a bull, we aren’t dragging things out past then, but I think we will have 90% settled AI by that time. With the weather we have been having, it’s crossed my mind MANY times Ebenezer, “just let one of the bulls take care of things and take it easy” but it also crosses my mind that a son or daughter from AI is something my “future self” will probably thank me for versus doing what was convenient. That’s not right for everyone, but it is for our operation. I have little doubt that if only herd bulls were used that it would be an extended breeding season, it would probably be over rather quickly. [/QUOTE]
