[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1317088, member: 17956"] I can AI, and hardly ever fool with it. I use an observed heat. You can AI on an observed heat for the price of semen. Just throwing out a thought. If you only have 8 cows, and the quality of your calf crop is not what you want. You may be looking at years to flip your genetics. In all honesty, if I wanted to influence a change, I'd sell those 8, and buy some cracker jacks. It's your fastest route to the quality you are looking for. Then AI to maintain quality. Many will probably disagree, but your net profit on 8 calves a year, is not going to make or break you. With small acreage, and small numbers, a better bet for you may be raising replacement quality cattle for others. Your in a better spot to achieve that than many. [/QUOTE]
