AI season is here!

Yesterday, 3 of my colleagues and I bred 450 black heifers in around 5 hours. The heifers were obviously synchronized, and we had wonderful facilities to handle them. Today I will synchronize around 30 more heifers, and tomorrow I will synchronize 300+. The ability to successfully breed large numbers like this is a tremendous advance in beef production, and allows the ranchers to use bulls that an individual would never be able to afford. This is a very exciting time to be involved in beef production.

BTW: The rancher from yesterday has another 800 heifers for us to breed in the coming weeks.

I worked for a ranch in the late 70s that ran about 100 head but we were the only ones in the area that AI at that time so we went around to other ranches/farms. Sometimes only 1 or 2 sometimes 20 or 30 . Had a lot of good times working there.
