[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1793572, member: 38038"] Great to hear that you are planning to use some of the best bulls in the business with AI. some really good advice so far. I agree with other post that cows are generally easier to get through the cervix than heifers. heifers cervix is much smaller and as a result generally harder to get through. on the other hand, heifers generally have a higher conception rate than cows. One thing that I remember from my AI class from about 40 years ago and still use today is that cows/heifers can sense when you are frustrated or tense. if you are having trouble for one of the many reasons that most of us have had regardless of how long we have been doing it, and you find yourself a little tense, just take a minute to relax and calm yourself down. don't be shy about asking questions as you go through your class. hope you have a great instructor and breeding AI will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for you. Good luck [/QUOTE]
