    Ai

    Ok. Thanks for all the advise but I still Can't feel that cervix very well with my rectal hand. I can feel it through bumping into it with the gun. I just re-AI'd one of my cows for the 3rd time tonight. Once this afternoon and once tonight. This is frustrating. I had another one come up preg...

    Standing?

    Thanks guys! Later this morning the bull calf was still hot on her trail. Also if she's mounting other cows with estrotects on will that cause a problem? I have another cow with the top of her patch rubbed clean alon the spine.

    Standing?

    Last night one of my cows was mounting other cows so we put an estrotect on her. I saw a small bull calf mount her and thought she stood. I saw one of my cows who I know is pregnant through a blood test mount her head only. Was going to breed her This morning but the estrotect patch this morning...

    Ai

    Bred a cow today with AI. Man feeing the cervix is tough! How big are they? I can feel it with the Gun hand but my rectal hand is not as easy. Any tips? I felt the gun go through the rings but I could not feel that I had a mass in my left hand.

    10th day

    Ok. 4 cows given lute 10 days ago. Bred 1. Today is day 11 and I've given the 2nd lute shot. If I don't see standing heat breed at 80 hours? Will that work? That's what the lute says.

    Lutalyse

    Well I've successfully AI'd 2 of my cows. I saw one in natural standing heat and gave Lutalyse to the other 4 only seeing one stand in 5 days. Should I keep watching or just re-inject on day 10? Also I'm pretty busy in my other career. Is a timed AI protocol any better as far as getting them re...

    21 day?

    How accurate is the 21 day cycle? I AI'd a cow 20 days ago. Tomorrow is 21. No signs of heat and her Vulva looks normal. How long should I keep a eye on her. I'm planning on blood checking her on day 30 or so.

    Cows not coming back into heat.

    I have a set of 5 cows that I haven't seen return of heat in since calving from Nov 2016 through March 2017. I just went to an AI course and my cows' BCS is much better than the cows we palpated. Any idea why I'm missing it? The AI tech at Champion Genetics suggested giving prostaglandin and...

    AI course or not?

    Thanks for the help and advice!

    AI course or not?

    Well I know I need to take the AI course but I can't get in until May. I've got a seat in the May course. I have a few cows coming into heat in the next few days. I'm gonna order semen and give it a shot. What do you guys think about this?
