    Sexed Semen Field Research Trial
    Anybody taking part in this trial.
    The info from the ICBF seems to indicate
    ". X-sorted semen results in 90% heifers"
    Yet an article in the newspaper indicate that
    many farmers last year had practically no
    noticeable difference in heifer no's?
    (somewhere in the region of under 2%)

    where did you read that? x sorted seamen is a proven technology at this stage with 90% a fairly well accepted figure. There is a crowd in Switzerland claim 100% with some interesting results for bull contracts!

    Err. I was mistaken.
    Speaking to the AI tecnitian it seems that those articles were in relation to something called " female advantage " program that was done last year he said that they all got their money back.
