[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7372769, member: 86168"] we reared 2 jersey bulls from calves, 1 at 14 months served 2 hfrs, and turned, the other 3yr old and very quiet, not sure which was the most dangerous, one you knew, the other, you forget it's there. sync programs should be all right with the public, they happily accept IVF treatments, so it's the 'same' ish thing. Don't you have a handling system close at hand, to draft the hfrs off ? esp if a sync programme, easier and safer, both of which lead to better conception rate. and for the sake of saving £25, i wouldn't entertain splitting straws, as [USER=46510]@Rossymons[/USER] says, the important bit is getting them i/c asp, that saving is easily lost, by losing 3 weeks on hfrs. We do the opposite, and use 2 straws of beef, AA and BB, and have a tight calving pattern. Using 1 straw fr, and 1 AA, in our autumn block, £15, for the 2 straws, seems a bit of a waste of the fr, but conception is the key, if it works, it's cheap. [/QUOTE]
