Sexed Semen

[kfacres]

Could one complile a list of Shorthorn bull:  Heck, I suppose a list of all breeds would be benficial as well to most. 

 

[kfacres]

well, I guess there isn't a single bull in the entire beef industry with sexed semen available....  Sure figured there would be atleast one with all this talk about using it.

A lot of places are going to start to do away with sexed semen. This is coming from the guys that AI. There isn't a huge demand for it as they thought it would be and it's still not 100%. Who knows it maybe just all talk too. I know you don't do Angus but if you want a few I'll list them.

Where did you hear this? Sexed semen has been increasing in usage since its inseption and is not slowing down at all. It will never be 100%. Nothing ever is. However, even at 90%, there are still far more economic insentives to use it in many different beef production scenarios. With pretty much the entire south starrting to rebuild their numbers, sexed semen is growing in popularity pretty fast.
