[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1474327, member: 18809"] I was going to let this rest, but decided against it. How is this cow NOT a fertile cow WHEN she just had her THIRD calf BEFORE her fourth birthday? Had I had a walking bull, she would have stuck. Most people that AI give them one chance, then throw a bull at them. We choose to work a little differently. IF they do not stick AI, we put an embryo in them. I think they have to be pretty fertile to carry an embryo. I have several cows that did not stick AI one year, raised an embryo, and then stuck AI the next year. Regardless of AI or embryo calf, the cow has to be fertile to do either. No free loaders here. Everyone produces a calf at least once a year, or they are gone. By the way, she produces one heck of a calf! This was her calf from last fall (2016): [img]http://i64.tinypic.com/33m7wnl.jpg[/img] Sired by American Pride, and had a yearling weight of 1182 (Oct born). I sold him at Farm Fest This was her calf from 2015, a heifer sired by HPF Optimizer, Nov born [img]http://i68.tinypic.com/24wwu8k.jpg[/img] For a first calf, had a weaning weight of 550 pounds at 189 days of age, a yearling weight of 1010 (of course, she was fed for show), and who she herself had a marvelous calf in October this fall, sired by Elevate, and is already 30 days bred back for a Broadway calf next September. [img]http://i63.tinypic.com/6h6aog.jpg[/img] I think she is a pretty darn good producer myself. And her daughter seems to be following in her footsteps. [/QUOTE]
