[QUOTE="Luckiamute, post: 994258, member: 14286"] We have had pretty good success using sexed semen from Genex. We have a small herd of five Registered Black Angus cows plus one baldie commercial cow, so we're only breeding six head per year right now. We have had a high conception rate; only one heifer in 2011 missed multiple times while everyone else conceived on the first try. We used sexed semen (I think it was the Genex GenChoice 90 from S A V 004 Density 4336, Conneally Right Answer 746 and S A V Bismark 5682) on five of the six cows that year. We bred four of the six using sexed semen in 2012 and only one miss and that cow conceived on the second try. Those cows start calving next week. One of the keys is natural heat, not syncronized or induced. Cows also need to be in good body condition -- not too fat or not too thin. If you're willing to risk a cow missing, I think it's a great way to go to get the calf -- male or female -- you want out of a particular cow. [/QUOTE]
