[QUOTE="Spudley, post: 6569216, member: 75432"] We used 4 bulls from 3 companies (g, a, and c). The bull we used last year was the worst this year. It was a combination of factors I believe but the most significant was that we used heat detection collars rather than chalk and observation and really struggled to get the timing right. Also we really missed that hour spent in the field with the cows and in hindsight they were probably short of grass at the time. But because we werent going out we didn't know. The collars came off after 4 weeks and things started to improve then. We will use sexed again next year for the first 2 weeks, but will go back to chalking and observing and I am going to be a lot more on top of the grass. [/QUOTE]
