Just started timed AI on two cows for the first time yesterday. I am not all that happy with my handling facilities and concerned about conception rates.

So I am considering leasing a bull not too far away from me. I realize this is going to be expensive with just two cows but trying to learn at a small scale before expanding.

Is this something you would recommend rather than repeating the synch & AI process? If so, what kind of timeline would you recommend? Cows are set to be AI’d July 7th. Timing for Preg Checks, Turning the Bull Out Post AI, and Pulling the Bull?

I have attached a couple pictures of the bull for your critique as well, he will be breeding a couple 3 year old red angus.

Thanks!
