[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1238925, member: 21715"] I'll agree w/ CP here ... with one caveat ... and that is you're trying to grow your females as fast as you can and with as little cost as you can (i.e., you're going to be your own seed stock producer). It seems to me that that is the one instance that it makes sense to do whatever you can reasonably do to get females on the ground. Another alternative to that (grow your females yourself and do so quickly) is to buy twice the number of cows as you want, AI them all to conventional semen, sex the embryos at 70 days, note which ones are carrying bull calves, and then at the right time, sell all the cows with bull calves keeping all the cows with the confirmed heifers. Either approach has its costs and its risks. [/QUOTE]
