[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1182642, member: 19938"] Bse this is my first experience with this vet, and actually getting some embryos. So I personally do not have any experience with them. I am just going by what he has told me. He said that there is a slim chance of getting twins, but felt that it was a better option than just throwing them away. Because of the inferiority of the #3s, there is little chance that they will both stick. I will have to ask him what his conception rate has been on them and let you know. :D Nesi I am told to never put embryos in a heifer. The ideal recipient is 3-5 years old and has already proven herself to be an easy breeder, calver and good mother cow. I have just purchased a Reg Angus momma to use as a recip in the future. She just calved twins unassisted and is raising them both. She is very gentle and easy to work with, which is a plus. I plan on weaning the calves early to give her a rest, and putting an embryo in her next spring. So I got a 3fer deal, with 2 calves to sell! [/QUOTE]
