Advances in artificial insemination (AI) technology help increase conception rates, and research continues to make progress in AI protocols.

University research has shown that the stronger the intensity of a cow’s estrous (heat), the better chance she has of holding her pregnancy.

Focusing cattle breeding to produce animals with maternal or terminal traits is advantageous to beef producers depending on their situation.

The ability to get replacement heifers bred and calved out early are important indicators for how long heifers will stay in a cow herd. And, heifers need to be fully developed heading into their first breeding season to ensure they’ll have longevity and pay for themselves.

Pairing sexed semen with estrus detection results in higher conception rates and more valuable calves.

There are a number of tools and technologies now available to help dairy farmers optimize heat detection.

You might be using tail paint or chalk in your breeding program for several reasons. “It’s cheap.” “It’s what my neighbors do.” Or maybe, “It’s what my A.I. company prefers.” Tail paint is better than nothing, but that doesn’t make it the best tool to get heifers and cows pregnant.
