Might I suggest, you do the 30 day? I think it would be your best bet but there are reasons people don't breed in this heat.
That rate is not exceptional, especially when holding over all those girls to breed to one bull. Time IS money.
Again, I agree, I should not have been satisfied with anything less than 100% conception. There is someone in my county that AI's, they tell me that it's rare that one ever comes back open. They are legends, but I'm afraid truth isn't aligned with reality. At least I posted my Biopryn results, I just have to go on the "word" of others.
I will consider the 30 day. I went on the advice of my ABS rep, as far as 7 day.
Like I said, I was reading about TAI on a Facebook forum and after hearing others results, I felt pretty good.
My ABS rep said the results were good.
As for breeding in this heat, it's tough, I probably would have gotten 7 for 8 if it had been in November.
FYI, on the advice of Ron and the data from the Moo Monitor, I didn't wait till 66 hours to breed. Most of them came into very strong heats at least 10 hours ahead of time, we bred them according to the data we were seeing, and when Ron said "go for it!" Glad I listened. At 66 hours exactly, most of them according to the Moo Monitor were finished with their heats. It would have been too late if we had followed the "textbook"
