Would you still AI if you had to hire it done?

[QUOTE="Midtenn, post: 1469362, member: 24781"] Would, and do, twice a year. Did 19 this morning, I even had the tech come last week and set them up. I always pull the cidrs and give lute, then she comes back and breeds them. Last time I set them up myself I only got 40% conception. Last bunch she set up got 85%. I'll probably end up taking a class, but I know it will take a long time to get the results my tech gets. We do timed AI once, then they get the clean up bull, and we're very selective about which cows get AI'd. They have to be easy to work, etc. and we only breed for replacement purposes in our commercial cows and for raising bulls/heifers in our registered cows. In your situation if you don't want to have a clean up bull, I would think you'd want to do it yourself on observed heats. It would be tough getting a tech to come there enough to insure they all get bred. [/QUOTE]
