Cameiro uses age and size as a benchmark to identify eligible heifers to be bred. Heifers will be tall and have proper body condition to ensure conception. Heifers are 14 to 15 months of age; weight of 800 to 850 pounds, with hip height of 50 inches and wither height of 48 inches.

At breeding heifers are 14 to 15 months; heifers are bred off heats. Breeding is done once a day. There is no splitting of straws. Cameiro's goal is to achieve nearly perfect pregnancy rates.

Cameiro will use synchronization, CIDR's, and GNRH, for heifers that are not found pregnant.

Pregnancy diagnosis includes palpation and ultrasound. Ultrasound allows us to identify heifers at 27 days post insemination. Heifer pregnancies are reconfirmed at 75 days, 180 days and the day before they are returned to the dairy.

Cameiro can customize a breeding program based on your preferences.
