[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1563620, member: 37967"] I was messing with Triple D who was knocking my operation. I assure you that we have a LOT more than 5 cows! We have over 50 females in production right now all registered, and more than 1/2 of them are from AI sires. Right now we have over 30 confirmed settled past 60 days to top AI sires, and will wrap up the rest soon. Most are AI'd to sexed semen (SAV Raindance) so the females are going to shoot up there pretty quickly. If you are looking for a rare animal that is proven via DNA for parentage we usually have it available. We will probably top out at about 150 registered females because quite frankly, I don't want all the added responsibility of going to 250-300 or more. We should be able to AI 150 without too much trouble with our set up. If things change and we decide to move up to 250 or more, we can easily scale with what we have available. We don't use synchronization as of yet, because with the system we have, we get an alert whenever one comes into heat and we put a straw in her. The weather and mud has been a challenge this year, but we are getting them all knocked out, and the few older ones that are a bit hard to get up are being handled by a herd sire from Stone Gate which will soon be replaced by an SAV Harvestor son that's ready to go. I'm sorry that you were confused about my comments to Trip D and hope this clears things up. When we get up to 150 dams AI'd per year, then proven via Biopryn at 28 days and then again at 60 days, then I would say there are not too many operations in KY pulling that off. As for my criticism of others, I don't think you ever hear me laying into producers that make an effort to do things right. If anything I praise them. I'm harsh on those that give Kentucky cattle a bad name and could care less what they are producing and offering out. [/QUOTE]
