[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 993665, member: 18809"] The reason there is not a lot of beef sexed semen is two fold, from what I understand. First, there needs to be a demand for that sire. Just about all dairy want heifers, from what I understand, that is why there is more of it. Not the case with beef sires. Second, not every sire can freeze sexed semen. I took my class to Genex in Strafford, and they explained that some sires do not have a high enough quality to freeze with sexed. I have used sexed a few times, and have yet to get a pregnancy. You can do it, but conception goes way down. I tried on some cows. [/QUOTE]
