I took an AI course with Select Sires and have some semen credits I need to use. Since reading these posts I think I will order a bunch of Capiche sexed heifer and regular semen. If anybody is interested let me know. Thanks!
Have not used my sexed Capiche yet but on my dairy and beef (mostly heifers) I actually have been running a touch higher conception rate on sexed semen. But I really watch how good of a heat she is in and only use first service sexed and only on them really fertile good conditioned kind of heifers. Sexed semen works.AFSC said:have you guys had any luck with sexed semen? I've used both Select and Genex and am 0 for 7. Biggest waste of time and money for me last year. If I even use the rest I will put a standard straw of something else in too. They say 15% less conception rate but heck with my results i don't plan to buy any more until they figure it out better. And yes we were breeding heifers and yes my conception rate was excellent last year other than the sexed semen.
Ive seen some nice Capiche heifers but have seen very few. I have one heifer as well that's nice. I'll use him on heifers for calving ease from now on but that's it.
