Have any of you guys had much luck flushing your Lowline cows?  What dosage of FSH have you used? Thanks

We flushed one last month and got 7 grade 1 embryos.  She has flushed better in the past.  I can't find my sheet to be sure ,but I think we started with 2cc morning and night the first day and decreased 1/4 cc each day until final day was 1cc.  The tec said one ovary felt soft and that it may not have ovulated.  I'm putting the embryos in my yearling club calf bred heifers hoping to make mommas out of them without any calving difficulty and raise some fullblood lowlines while I'm at it.  We did a mixed flush with Doc Holliday and The Brick.

Sounds like a good idea...hmmmm....  Please keep SP up to date on how well this works for you.  Could be a great way to get rid of some major problems on 1st calf heifers, while increasing the size of the lowline herd here in the US.  Thanks.
