[QUOTE="jdg, post: 1444171, member: 13350"] Utrasound costs around $5/hd, and palpation around $3.5/hd. I also work with Wye genetics, mostly stuff honed for the south by Ed Oliver, now Oliver Family Angus in West Point, Georgia. I also use a lot of Pinebank Angus genetics, and a tiny bit of Oldhe and Shoshone. This past year my commercial heifers developed entirely on forage were 80% bred (52 of 65)and 72% bred in first 35 days. Actually, palpation would have said 85%, but ultrasound picked up 3 heifers that had just lost pregnancies (no heartbeat). Still need to check my registereds. I was relatively pleased, considering the development program, but certainly see room for improvement. [/QUOTE]
