[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 529596, member: 852"] #1 question is if your tech knows what he's doing. As my signature line says... your decisions are only as good as the information you base them on. Would he know what a cycling heifer felt like, or not? so I'm told, some AI techs have no idea what happens or is normal beyond the cervix, since that's as far as they have to go when AI'ing. What type of mineral program did you say your heifers were on? it seems unusual that only 30% of your herd would be normal and cycling, and the rest of them have major problems. I'd take into consideration the skill level of your AI tech and the mineral program for your heifers before you do any culling. Run a search on the boards for "infantile reproductive tracts" too... I had 2 heifers last spring with underdeveloped reproductive tracts compared to their contemporaries, and another 2 months, dose of MultiMin, and both cycled and settled. [/QUOTE]
