Implanting going well so far
Nov 6 2010
Out of 43 embryos we flushed from our Hereford Cow (to a quality Angus sire) – we have implanted 27 so far. It looks like 20 have held – a 74% success rate. We are delighted with that percentage.
We implanted another 6 today (including two into one big cow). These are some older, less fertile girls, and also a younger pure Piedmontese (to have an easier first calf). I am not hopeful of such a high percentage take – but fingers crossed! I should know in 2 weeks time – those that didn’t hold should cycle in 14 days.
I have a further plan to implant more eggs (still have 10 left), so I will try to match them so that those who cycle in 14 days can be included with the next lot of recipients.
