Back on 2-14 I had an embryo implanted in one of my baldies. She came back in yesterday and stood overnight. Question is do I give her a second shot at it or choose another recip? At $800 an egg I have to be really careful.
 
Have the embryologist check for ___________. Someone fill in the blank for me, I can't think of the correct term... They can tell which side just cycled because there is something extra there... Our embryologist checks to make sure there is a good one before putting an embryo in a recip... My mind isn't functioning properly right now...

Ouch. Put a bull in front of her and see what happens.

That would give me a cross and I don't want that. I need a full blood.

Well, I just got a call back from the embryologist and he said to bring her back on the 9th for another implant. He felt like it was just a case of bad luck. At these prices I sure hope my bad luck changes. :(
 
slick you just made me swallow hard.as im thinking about buying a donor and flushing her.but ive got todo alot of thinking and talking to a friend of mine.
 
I've also used one of mine as a donor and one of those should be on the ground mid April. I think I'd rather sweat the donor part of it rather than the recip side.
 
with the prices reg cattle are bringing im seriously considering buying a donor with in the next year.ive got a good friend thats gearing his herd towards donor cows now.im pretty sure i can go in with him and get 1 or 2 donors and flushing them.
