[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1085188, member: 18809"] Maybe cheap insurance wasn't the words he used exactly, but he basically meant to say that if it made ME feel better about using it, then go ahead. In other words, it has not proven to "hurt" anything, but it has also not proven to help. Kind of like the placebo affect - when studies are done testing a new product, usually research is set up to where one group gets what appears to be the same (like a sugar pill instead of the actual medicine, or a shot of saline solution instead of a shot of the actual treatment), and they have similar results to the group that actually received the treatment. Does that mean the control group got something out of nothing? It is a perceived notion, therefore it must have worked! Kind of an extreme example, but I am just trying to point out that he was not "wishy washy" as you put it. I put his words into my own interpretation of what he was saying. And I have backed off of using the GnRH (as stated above, have not used it this fall breeding), with no noticeable side effects, except my pocket book is a bit heavier! But hey, it is my savings, not yours :nod: [/QUOTE]
