Practical Implications of Utilizing Fixed Time Artificial Insemination
Effective synchronization programs offer the following advantages:
1) cows or heifers are in estrus at a predicted time which facilitates A.I.
2) the time required for heat detection is reduced, decreasing labor expense
3) cycling females will conceive earlier during the breeding period.
ADDING PROFITABILITY THROUGH GENETICS
The amount of information and data available on prospective A.I. bulls and herd sires is powerful - and growing. The Spring 2008 ABS Beef Sire Directory provides producers with twenty-three EPDs and indexes on each Angus bull.
CONDITIONED
FOR CONCEPTION
"Give your heifers the best of everything - reproduction
efficiency, health and nutrition."
If you're serious about genetic improvement, your replacement heifers
should be among the most valuable animals on the farm.

TIGHTER
AND WIDER
A new progesterone application allows producers to narrow the window
of synchronization and efficiently time-breed heifers and cows,
while jump-starting anestrous females.
