[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 366116, member: 6007"] Interesting question. Aaron and I were on the telephone for an hour or so yesterday and this topic came up. Everyone above is bang on the money - except volume does count. While I generally only use one straw, I am seriously considering going to two. Mind you, I do not use those straws costing 50 bucks and up. The most expensive one I own is probably only 17 - 20 bucks. As for percentage bred on first go - I have heard all sorts of numbers - but what I have discovered is that no matter how good you or the tech are - or how good you or the tech think you are - there will be years when the success rate drops - for whatever reason. I look forward to more responses here because so far I am not convinced those little straws are always doing the job. The straws of old - in my region used to hold almost double the straws of today. This volume may also be a serious factor when AI'ing older and larger volume cattle. Bez> [/QUOTE]
