    On AI success rates. I did 7 natural and one repeated at 10 days. Synchronised 10 and 2 repeated at 21 and 24 days. Hopefully they’ve all held now.


    Next batch of sync cows up for repeats next week. .

    Would Keep an good eye on the one at 24 days for a repeat

    I’ll be keeping a good eye on them all in case I missed any on the first repeat. I’ve always used a bull to mop up so the pressure is on this first year to catch them all myself.

    I've a cow what will be 38 days post calving when I intend to start the FTAI. Would she be good to put through the program? Calved handily on her own, so no trauma during calving.

    Talking to a couple of lads they generally dont use sexed again on a repeat. If she's a pet or favourite cow sure what harm, she'll either hold or she won't.

    @funkey_monkey, 3 years ago I had the vet out to synchronising my cows. I had 1 cow 3 weeks calved, said to the vet no point doing her. He said it woukd bring her around in 3 weeks time if nothing else. She actually did hold on the first service.

    That's interesting. There are two that are 26 & 29 days calved. I was going to wait before trying them.

    I might have a think about them.

    I went conventional on her never fully seen her standing and and weanling bulls still following her abit but I'd say she was standing last night and there just horny lads, but if she's standing later on she will be done again.

    On another note I don't a sync program before I turned the stock out 4 of them 3 are in calf so great success the programs has really worked well for me this year. The one not in calf is a two year old heifer, good chance she won't come at all this year she's putting it all into the calf and going thin, if I have to cull her I don't mind, Think if I have 19 out of 25 now scanned in calf.
