Got calving done so time to start breeding the heifers! Our start date for breeding heifers was set for today putting our start date next year as 9/13. The plan was to freeze brand and put on heat detection patches. We were suppose to get a lot of rain today so decided to hold off on the freeze branding and just get the patches on. When we went to get them up we had three standing so it begins. We have two groups to set up for timed AI then one group of recips. This will be our first Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in ten years that we aren't giving shots to recips or donors! I have to admit that I am pretty excited about not having that chore this year.
We bred three today we now go into the morning evening AI regiment anything with a red patch in the morning gets bred tomorrow afternoon, if it goes red by evening they get bred the following morning. We will AI through 1/5/18 then turn Bulls in on the 12th.
