[QUOTE="alexfarms, post: 1105862, member: 8677"] Have you considered flushing one of your own cows? You know more about the cows you own than any you could go out and buy. Isn't there a mating to a bull for one of your females that could produce top cattle. Frank Felton's advise to me 25 years ago: 'Work with what you got.' You could do the flush with sexed semen, or go IVF and reverse sort on some good old bull. You could IVF a pregnant cow after weaning and between 30 and 110 days bred. I think it would be pretty tough to go out and buy a donor cow. The best way to do ET is to pay for results. ie: IVF your best cow to your favorite bull for sexed semen and have fresh embryos planted and buy the pregnant recips. That way you aren't paying for a bunch of frozen embryos that may never hatch. [/QUOTE]
