rrlund: I don't know where you get that they where AI bred??? I never stated that they where. They where synchronized bred. That is for sure as the ranch does that on All of their heifers. They usually have 2000-2500 heifers to chose from just depending on when you want to calve.
I have talked to the place they came from they have figure out what was going on. These heifers where in a group of fifty heifers. I picked out the twenty I wanted. The rest where sold to other people. They are having calves too.
The ranch got the pen numbers mixed up between the office and the barns/pastures. They went back and looked at the actual time sheets/daily reports and found out the guys doing the work did the heifers in April. Then they where exposed to bulls. They are sorted by size and exposed to different bulls in groups of 10-15. Then after they are bred they are put back together. I picked heifers from two different bulls. That I knew when I bought them.
The heifers they where to breed got bred later. So they have heifers down south that are going to calve late. They have already verified that that group has not had any calves.
So they have two groups of fifty heifers that are bred at switched times.
I am not going to name the ranch as we have come to an understanding that works for us. I have dealt with them for years. Just an honest mistake. Easy to do when you have large numbers of cattle and hired help.
We are going to DNA sample the calves to make sure and then I will get papers on the calves I decided to keep as breed stock.
So far we have 7 bulls and 5 heifers.
So have a good day and we will argue about White tractors some other day.
