Since this isn't a very active thread I am going to hijack it a little and pass on something we were told at the Range Beef Cow Symposium. There was a presenter there on AI systems. They did a fairly large study and determined that you only gain 4% on average conception by heat detecting. There was a four percent increase in conception when they heat detected, and time inseminated versus just timed insemination alone. I couldn't hardly believe that was true so I reread the proceedings and that is what their data showed. That was all it took to convince me to forget that rotten job.

Back to the freeze branding, what method do you use and are your cows red or black?
