Re: Bull Calves

Over a period of time ie 10 years the law of averages is 47%heifers to 53%bulls,but why not just use sexed semen.

Re: Bull Calves

I see you're new to cowtalk Eldridge, welcome and thank you for your comments. If you scroll back through some of the older threads here, you'll discover that I'm not exactly struck on the idea of using sexed semen, because of my religious beliefs.

The way we're looking at this run of bull calves is that the Good Lord has a reason for us not having so many heifer calves this year! He's working to a plan, we have to accept it! emoticon

Re: Bull Calves

Whether its type or index the bottom line is that all must milk.

Re: Bull Calves

So much confusion Buckeye, my head can't take it!! emoticon emoticon

Perhaps you're right though, the only thing is I don't think there would be any merit in us using Sexed semen untill we are milk recording, we're not as yet.
I've been trying to persuade my Dad to get the herd registered, and improve the breeding a bit. Let's just say he's stuck in his ways and can't see the possible future benefits. Maybe if I get a few spending tokens built up I'll pay for registration etc!!

Anyone got any ideas on how to get rich quick!! emoticon emoticon emoticon
