[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 21736, member: 60"] I'm not trying to change your way of thinking at all -- but I did want to explain something here. I talked Dad into letting me AI his Red Angus cows last year, he though AI would be too expensive and time consuming too. We AI'd his herd to Monu and Red Spread (Accelerated Genetics). Synchronized with 2 shots of lutalyse, 14 days apart. Out of 29 cows bred, only 4 cycled again (that were seen). In Dad's case, he was looking at having to buy a new bull -- his bull is 10 years old, and he needed replacement heifers. By using AI, we have alleviated the need for a new bull, the old bull is more than capable of running clean up for another couple of years. And we used bulls that should throw good daughters. Total cost of AI for Dad's herd was $670. The calves are starting to hit the ground now -- so far all have been Monu calves, and Dad couldn't be more pleased. Small calves that are extremely lively and alert at birth, on their feet and nursing within minutes -- first time ever that Dad's had a heifer deliver without assistance. For someone who was so against AI a year ago, his results at this point have completely changed his mind. Now if we get good replacements out of this, he'll be sold on it forever. Ann B [/QUOTE]
