[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 941325, member: 13402"] Alan, We have kept track over the past few years and to be honest haven't seen much of a difference one year we used 100% new CIDR's and had a 72% conception rate, the following year we reused the CIDR's and had a 76% conception rate (but we actually had to add 8 new CIDR's to have enough ). We just wash them off with water, I lay them on a towel to air dry then bag them in a brown paper bag put them in the top of my closet in the house so they don't get any extream weather changes, and pull them out and use them again the follwing year. Like I said we AI between 70 and 80 head so that $10.00 adds up plus the cost of the drugs fo the sync beeding can get pretty expensive. That said if we saw a big drop in conception we would not reuse the CIDR's but we just haven't see any difference. Gizmom [url]http://www.gizmoangus.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
