[QUOTE="Air gator, post: 1314596, member: 20755"] Just wondering if you gave your recips any selenium? Either Mu-Se or Multimin injectable does the trick. I learned the hard way that if I didn't give my cows selenium before A.I. they would not take. It's not the same as a natural breeding...I also found that Concept Aid works well, or I believe it improved my conception rate on embryo transfer. Also, it makes a difference whether or not your cows are nursing because you want the cows to be putting weight on. The highest conception rate for recips is heifers (you may have heard that some people recommend you only use sexed semen on heifers...it's because they are more fertile). I ended up bottle-feeding a calf because the 100 percent Holstein heifer wouldn't let the calf nurse..so there is a down side. (She also liked to kick when she went to the dairy). [/QUOTE]
