When breeding with sexed semen vs conventional semen what is the timeframe you would breed? Using conventional semen we have had luck with 12 hours for good conception (standing in AM breed in PM). We have not had the best luck with sexed semen and I am wondering if it is because we are breeding to early. Should we be breeding more around 18 to 24 hours or what seems to work the best for you?

Thanks!

You will see a significant improvement if you delay your timing. ST calls 16-24 acceptable and 18-22 ideal. I've been targeting 18 the last two years with good success.
