[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1193292, member: 18809"] Not necessarily Highgrit. If my cows do not take to AI or an embryo, they are shipped, so they need to more fertile than the average cow. I have yet to supplement the cows in any year except when my hay ran low one year. However, I am always looking at options to prevent the setback I had after the drought several years ago when I should have supplemented the cows. If I had a bull to run then, I am sure the cows would have been bred. I have since learned a lesson from that year, when I sold some pretty good wet 2 year olds that did not take to AI as open cows at market prices. I try to keep a yearling bull around, and if I have a cow that will not take after 2 AI attempts, let the bull have her and sell her later as a heavy bred or pair. Since I started that, ALL of my cows get bred, and the late ones find new homes where AI is not necessary. [/QUOTE]
