An even louder message would be to tell them you've ordered 100 hundred straws from cogent
Oh the genus rep will get the message when he rings me.

Have seen the Genus rep and in all honesty there is actually very little change in costs on timed visits/ inseminations as weāve always had cows in the race and ready and wash facilities next to van parking so quick and because of this our time on farm is minimal ( recorded via tracker apparently) .Our Genus sales representative is calling in next week to discuss their new pricing. If a price is given in that region he will be asked to leave the farm immediately and not return !!!!
Genus service here isnāt exactly amazing as cows have been regularly served 1-2pm which means highly stressed cows that wonāt always hold well in summer as kept in. Winters never a problem.
Daughter has done the course and is fully confident for dairy so only need a flask and our bull is only to willing to oblige for beef
Rep said anyone with only a handful of cows to serve may see a saving in syncāing them rather than paying top rates and multiple visits.
I guess genus have achieved what they wanted to here.
Bigger, easier and more accessible herringbone race going in.

You obviously pick the cows out for ai? Thought you were on rms.
Breeder tag and seg gate for 2 mobs then scratch cards for 1

How are you getting on with breeder tag? How long hove you used the system?
This is our 2nd year. The tags are very good. No doubt about that.
The genus seg gate, will let you know in a few weeks. Average at best last year. But hopefully a few things altered this year.
Any device without a seg gate to me is a waste of time, if your picking them manually, may aswel look at a scratch card.
If labour was plentiful, it would be scratch cards and extra person for 9 weeks

Serving my customers cows on Christmas day is one of my favourite days of the year , my car ends up looking like a mobile off licence by the end, hardly any other vehicles on the road or speed traps . My Children just have to wait until lunch time to open their presents .
What next ? No AI service on Sundays and bank holidays?
