“Someone who does it, the more they do it, the better they get at it. And they need to be experienced doing Santa Ger trudis cattle or Bos indicus cattle because it’s a whole different-shaped reproductive system. Our technician is experienced and good at it,” Creech says. The evidence of his success with AI’ing top genetics shows through Creech’s uniform cow herd and the uni form calf crops he gets year after year. “Most all of my females that are born here, I try to keep the very best ones to go back into my herd,” he says. “Then the rest of them I sell at production sales.” He even started keeping a few top bulls back for his own use. The top remaining bulls go into production sales, and the rest are castrated and sold as freezer beef. “I think anybody, regardless of size, can benefit from AI,” Creech says. “It’s not a lot of money involved for the end product; it’s a pretty good investment. The good calves I get make it worth it. To me it’s the way to go.” The Creech family, from left, Brandon, Emily, Colin, Tony, Allison, Caroline and Seth
