Anyone know the quality of the Headliner semen? We used a bunch last year and had good rates but heard the quality isnt very good anymore.
Also what does everyone know about Polygraph?

When ordering semen from our local ABS rep, here in the Northwest, we were told he couldn't get any because of the low quality of what is being produced or not produced.  However, Bovine Elite shipped it that day!  Will keep my fingers crossed that what we got is last years!

Headliner semen is not poor quality...He is collected at Interglobe and they are known for there very high standards...ABS is very hard on semen quality..If they see a few dead cells they through it out...Polygraph was also collected at Interglobe..Semen quality on both bulls is not an issue..If you need semen call Interglobe and get the semen straight from them..Ask for CJ he is a Cattle Visions Rep. and great to work with.

I agree.  If ABS is distributing the semen then it will have gone through some quality tests before they release it.

I just heard this and yes it was from an ABS rep. Like i said before we got excellent rates with Headliner last year. That is why i was getting some more opinions.  Wasnt trying to start rumors, you can see this from my first post. and we will be using headliner again

And also i was looking for some opinions on Polygraph.  Have seen excellent calves out of him, just wanting some info from several people who have used him.
