If you use an ai man he might be able to point you towards a few .
Would it not be easier to buy the cow yourself and the get the embryo you like to put in her ?

Try the ch breed society, they could point you in the right direction. Also I've seem powerful genetics advertise embroys but they may have been lims

is it not better to have a heifer carrying an embryo, we never put embryo's into cows

True, I'd say moy was suggesting to buy the cow/heifer and flush her.

Was Rose Goulding not doing this a few years back?

I've plenty of good cows that I could use as recipients but ET can ne touch and go so id rather buy a heifer scanned in calf already carrying the Embryo. It's the best way to access excellent cow families without having to fork out a huge amount of mula. There was a fella in the journal afew months ago that did ot alright.

i dont understand why you are using cows as recipients, sure we all have good cows:o

Did anyone else read the report about how the cow carrying the embryo has an effect on the calf, something about a transfer of some genetic material from the cow carrying the embryo to the embryo.

Sorry no, it just came into my head that I had read it somewhere, most likely the farmers journal or the farming independent.

We use ET's here with mainly heifers but some cows as well. They carry all our own embryos so far although two embryos from another herd are about to be transferred to cows.
I'd give you the names of the crowds we use but it may be of no use to you depending on where you are. Also it's not CH we use.

Completely depends on the cow according to my man.
I have a few contenders.

And if you look at the OP youll see I was looking to buy a cow/heifer already carrying the Embryo.
