[QUOTE="simme, post: 1792496, member: 40418"] My opinion. If I wanted the best chance to move them up, I would use a bull instead of AI and drugs. I believe good nutrition (but not fat) and a good bull will give better results in terms of cows settling as early as possible. Maybe the calves will not be as good as AI sired, but the bull puts more sperm in the cow with better timing. Some few cows may settle 30 days after calving, but expectations should be that you get majority settled 60 days after calving under good conditions. [/QUOTE]
