[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1182429, member: 18809"] I have induced, and would never do it unless it is absolutely unavoidable. There is a high rate of retained placentas, along with uterine infections that follow that line. The cows are later to return to heat... just a bunch of issues. If you are inducing because you are afraid of size, you are using the wrong recips or buying the wrong embryos. Just my experience and opinion, which means nothing! As far as getting more embryos because he horn breeds (or I am assuming that is what he is talking about), if there is NO egg, there is no embryo to follow. When you start getting UFO's (un-fertilized eggs, or organisms) is when you start to question the breeding. I have never heard of putting semen in the ovaries, but some get it up in the uterine horns. Still not sure that works, since some of the eggs travel down to the uterus. I follow what Brangus Cowgirl does. [/QUOTE]
