Selected for the job this year is Prince\u2026the son of the last cow Wooz selected on our final trip to England. Prince is from Ashott Barton\u2019s Tulip line.\u00a0His sire another favorite Cutcombe Jaunty. We generally wait at least a week before bringing the bull to the herd.\u00a0 Many breeders release the cow right out of the chute to the bull but Church feels traces of heat can remain.\u00a0 Whether AI or transplant, we think it\u2019s best to allow the embryo to firmly settle.\u00a0 It also provides separation in calving dates to elimination confusion on parentage. There were 22 cows in this pasture\u2026a pretty good workload for a bull just 2 1\/2 years old.&nbsp; But 17 of these cows have either undergone transplants or AI\u2026only 5 are definitely open.&nbsp; Prince may want his money back. In a month or so we\u2019ll bring this group back through the chute\u2026the embryos will be developing by then\u2026and we\u2019ll be able to tell who is pregnant and by whom and, if we\u2019re lucky, the gender of the calf.
