[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 398594, member: 968"] Yes, the bull produces the X & Y sperm. Whichever one penetrates the egg determines the sex. BUT, the environment of the COW can influence the livability and viability of the X or Y sperm, giving greater odds of one or the other surviving to reach the egg. ABS is only recommending their sexed semen to be used on heifers because you can get greater conception rates on heifers than cows. Accelerated Gen has a different sexing method & I have heard they are getting better conceptions rates. This sexing science is changing rapidly, with improvements all the time. [/QUOTE]
