[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 739885, member: 411"] In AI and ET school we were told to always do our vac. atleast one month prior and no closer to breeding. Multiple reasons. One of which it seems you are learning. Two you want to have protection prior to breeding. Three they say that by doing all the vac. etc. while trying to Sync you are stressing the cows out even more which inturn will mess with there cycle you are trying to sync. Personally here we always do our vac. atleast 5 weeks ahead of when we are going to Sync. At which time we also clip the hair where our butt tags are going to be placed. In doing this, 4-5 weeks later when we Sync and heat detect the hair is the perfect length to hold the tags with no problems. Once we started doing this we haven't had a single problems with our heat detection tags. Also when we bring the cattle in for Vac. etc. we get a good chance to see any health problems that will affect breeding as well as decide which bulls we will be breeding which cattle to. Give us a chance to update records and make sure all is well before AIing. I truly believe this has saved us money as well as open cattle after the first breeding. Our first time bred numbers went up dramatically as well as better calf crops because of selecting different bulls for groups of cattle instead of using one bull on everyone. Hope that made sense. Its 4:30am and im waiting on a calf to be born from a cow that has had problems in the days leading up to now. Double R [/QUOTE]
