What is the general consensus regarding when you can put cows AI'd on a CIDR programme with a bull?
I have always waited two weeks after AI before putting the bull in but would like to bring it down, without the expense of DNA parentage verification.
I find it irritating keeping the few cows not ready for the TAI programme separate, with the bull, while waiting for the AI'd cows to be ready to put in with the bull as well.
I watch birthweights at calving as well, for the late AI/early natural service calves.
Opinions please!
