How diligent is everyone about thawing semen? I use a styrene flask and have hotwater in a thermos and keeping the water pretty accurately at 35C. I know of some pretty good inseminators who get excellent results by thawing by thawing it in the cow. One fellow I have seen at work uses his fingers to grab the straw from the goblet, can't be good for contact to other straws, then he wipes the frost off it with his fingers loads it into the gun and away he goes, his results are first class. I imagine his technique evolved by having to do cows at the end of the day and in a hurry with not all the gear at hand and has found he can get away with it.
I would be interested to hear comments from others especially the likes of CP who has been inseminating in busy situations. I don't intend changing my ways but just interested.
