Alright thanks again everyone! I just signed up for the Dec. class at Agtech in KS. ABS has some schools that are held closer to home but not till late winter and early spring. I figure I'll keep any open cows through winter & practice with them. Plus Dec. is a little less busy for me and will...

Ok I'll do it! This is what I needed to hear. Thanks very much to all!

Looking for advice on whether it makes sense for me to go to AI school. I have been planning on taking an AI course by next year to do the task on my cattle. We just got done with timed AI breeding 2 weeks ago. Had an ABS tech do the inseminating and a comment he made has me wondering if its a...

Ok thanks! I've restarted my computer. Maybe I'll reset cookies. I don't what else to try. It's the only website I can't get on.

Interested to hear opinions and experience using a breeding box vs a regular chute for AI. This will be my 1st try with AI, have decided to use 5 day co synch on 7 heifers and 7 day on 12 cows. I have read a little about breeding boxes and the claim is better conception rates with them. I have a...
