if you can't get someone to take your shite calves, you have 2 choices, 1, keep them yourself, or 2,,pay someone to take them, embryo transplant looks quite attractive then ! It would also go a long way to replacing suckle cows, which, unless the clean beef rises in price, will become increasingly expensive to keep. If there is a market for et, they will soon bring the price down, and success rate up.Did some embryo transplant work a few years ago. We were being paid but it was an expensive process with limited success - around 50% holding to term.
Imagine, Bald Rick, could have 100% bb calves, from his jerseys !!!!
