I flushed to 3 different bulls and got few eggs so we are going to try the in-vitro... had 3 eggs and one natural calf all bulls... limited edition, suh x 2 and Maine Man really like them but they need to be heifers!!

would like to try sexed semen..would like to be able to register as hi percentage and since the dam is 1/2 need purebred

any suggestions??

Don't know who's doing your invitro work, but the one I am familiar with, prefers thawing conventional semen and then sorting (sexing) it.  They have a better success rate than using frozen sexed semen for fertilization.  I didn't ask, but I assume there is less total stress on the wigglers doing it that way rather than using frozen sexed semen.  Your IVF facility may not have the sorting capability. I would ask.

I know that there is sexed hard whiskey semen but can't remember if her is a purebred.
