[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 90530, member: 1017"] In the class I took, we were told that the first heat after being taken off the MGA is a "False" heat. If you breed on this heat the conception rate would be very low as the heifers are less fertile on this heat. As far as breeding timed AI as opposed to heat detecting, yes you are correct, in a study done by UMC, the average conception rate when using timed AI is about 63% and the heat detecting average is around 69%. I have to get my neighbor to do the AIing this year as I have not taken training yet, so I am trying to make it convenient for him. Plus, the 6% is neglegible in my book. I will gladly sacrifice that 6% for the convenience of AIing them all at once. This sync thing is an experiment for me. Next year after I get training to AI, I may not even decide to sync them and just heat detect from the beginning. I just want to see if it's worth the time and money to sync them if I'm going to AI. I think someday I will buy a good enough bull and may not AI every year. [/QUOTE]
