    You do get a spread in the onset of oestrus so twice would seem to cover more 'ground'. The other way of looking at it is that you've spent a bit of more with the hormones you've used, does it make sense to try to be thrifty with the part that matters?

    The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It's to promote critical thinking.

    When its one cow you will know the start of bulling so am/pm rule should be ok
    If you are dealing with a number of cows serve at 56hrs and serve again any cows that are showing standing heat at first AI.

    I thought it was a design thing but
    PRID = progesterone releasing intra-vaginal device
    CIDR = controlled internal drug drevice

    so a prid is a cidr but a cidr can have other drugs/hormones on them
