Hi folks!
I am new to the site and you all seem like a good bunch to get some advice!
I have an older angus cow that I have yet to get a heifer calf from. She is more the family pet than anything but produces the nicest calves each year! I can't stand the idea of not getting a heifer from her so I'm doing A.I. on her with sexed heifer semen this year. I know it's best used on heifers and not older cows but I'm running out of chances on this girl to get a heifer.
Any advice or tips for breeding with sexed semen? How has your success rate been?
Has anyone specifically used SS Niagara Z29 sexed heifer from select sires? That is about the only sire I could find for sexed female here in Wisconsin. The rep said demand for angus sexed heifer semen is low so they aren't sorting much of it anymore.
Also, just generally, does anyone have any daughters of SS Niagara Z29? I'm very curious to know how they turn out.
Thanks for the help and advice!
