[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1842686, member: 25884"] I learned to AI 40 yrs ago from an AI tech, who bred for select sires... he wanted an occasional relief tech, and I was far out of his normal area that he didn't want to have to come all the way out there for just one "family cow".... so taught me. He would have me work at least 1 day every couple weeks... and we had a big area and lots of dairy farms back then Then I took a refresher course SS offered...and when he had a mild heart attack, and was out for 3 months, I did his calls for that time... Have not done much AI the last 8 years due to the joint problems.... but hope to do some this year. I will sometimes go in and do a preg check on animals that we thought were bred or were due soon.... I can feel one after about 5 months but just do not have the touch for shorter bred... We get the vet out to do the groups since he is fast and more accurate... uses Ultrasound... there was a vet that used to do alot of the dairies... palpation.... and he could get within a day or 2 of the AI date every time...
