[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1161696, member: 18809"] We used to ultrasound everything, and sex all embryo calves at around 70 days. Our vet was 100% correct the first two years, and we really liked that. As we got more and more embryos in, his accuracy went down. Not sure why, but when we got three embryos calves in a row that he called heifers (which we want) and ended up being bulls, it was so very disappointing. So we stopped sexing. We figured it was better not knowing and being happy when we got a heifer than thinking it was a heifer and finding a bull instead. This fall will be our first round with no ultrasounds. We did not even preg check the cows, since we do not run a bull and I know when they stuck to AI or the embryo we put in. If the vet is here at the right time, we would check ones we might be curious about, but no longer go out of our way to schedule him out just to ultrasound the cows. [/QUOTE]
