[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 689160, member: 9002"] Exactly. When I first came from the school I was only about 50% conception and struggled at that, but I only bred 5-10 per year of my own cows. By the time I felt a little comfortable breeding I was done for the year. After a couple years at it I was up around 75%, so I was getting them bred but it was still a struggle, but I'm very stubborn and wouldn't give up. Like you said it's a repetition thing; one day the light bulb came on and it has been fairly easy ever since. I expect 75% conception and the breeding is easy now. I breed for other people and only charge $5 per head; I also charge $0.75/km for travel to and from the job site. If I can breed 15 females an hour, I make $75/hour that's pretty good money in my book, and don't know why my customers need to pay any more than that. All my customers synch with at least a one shot PG to cut down on labour and travel costs. [/QUOTE]
