We just got finished sonogramming two year old, 1st calf heifers that we bred back on Dec 4/5. These heifers are going to the Fort Worth Commercial Heifer Sale. We had great heats this year which helped us overall a bunch - amazing what a wet spring and summer with real grasss does for them. Anyway, five of these girls were AI'd to Monopoly and all five stuck. I was really surprised. Because of concerns I'd read about on him and the fact his semen is apparently getting hard to get, we only bred him to the girls that showed good heats.
The semen we bought had been collected in mid November 09 at REI. It's good stuff to get that kind of success on two year olds.
We checked a group of 17 and 14 of them stuck AI (thanks to the work of ZNT by the way).
Anyone interested in some good two year olds, calved out, and ALL AI'd back (confirmed to Monopoly, Troubador, and Smooth Sailing), we have a pen that will be in Fort Worth in two weeks.
