[QUOTE="novaman, post: 729553, member: 2744"] I believe the sexed semen I get through Select Sires has 2 mil per straw but I understand what you were getting at. Yes the conception rates are lower, that has been admitted right from the get go. It shouldn't be a shock to anyone when they don't get the conception rates they had been prior to using sexed semen. I just don't see how anyone could justify buying two straws of sexed to inseminate one time. It is borderline cost effect when using one straw at a time. Two straws puts the cost effectiveness over the top no question. And lets keep in the mind that conventional semen still yields roughly 50% of the sex you are after anyway. It isn't like you need to use sexed to get either heifers or bulls. I think some people are so hung up on the idea that they can get mostly heifers or mostly bulls that they don't use their head and/or calculators. [/QUOTE]
