How much less will the conception rate be by using sexed semen? I know it is less but just how much. Also what are the % of the desired sex? With that information, except for perhaps a flush, someone please give me a situation where it would be an advantage to use sexed semen? I have been told by one fellow that said he heard you will get 20 to 30% less conception, it costs substantially more and with that you will not get anywhere near 100% of the desired sex. It seems that the bottom line is you will spend a lot more per straw for semen and get fewer AI calves. In general, is this a good deal for anyone other than the semen companies? Just asking? What am I missing?
