We have spent the past couple of days palpating all of the cows that were either AI'd or used as a recip. Two years ago we flushed the SAV Blackcap May 0524 cow for the first time. We flushed her in January and she calved on 11/9 and flushed her on 1/4 so 56 days after calving.(if I added correctly) We got 4 eggs and all 4 resulted in live calves, that type of conception rate is not the norm but it can happen. We flushed her one more time a couple months later and froze all of the eggs out of that flush. Last year we just put in 4 of the eggs out of the tank three stuck again pretty good conception for frozen eggs. This year we flushed her again and got 9 eggs, we put all 9 in fresh then used 8 of the eggs we had in the tank. Out of 17 eggs all 9 of the fresh stuck and 7 of the 8 frozen stuck 16 calves! I don't know what to think, I just don't think this is the norm. Am I right is this pretty rare? Is the cow just producing exceptional eggs or did we just get extremely lucky?
