[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 1649351, member: 411"] Select sires offers courses in Turlock sometimes. The COVID lock downs have had an effect on them for this year I’m sure. You’ll have a hard time finding any classes in CA other than that. I drove to Wash many years ago for my class because I missed the one they had in Turlock and no more were offered for the year. I will caution you to read up on CA laws (and talk to your vet) about outside AI work without a vet on site or working with you. I ran into that years ago when I got back from ET school and found out there was a lot of issues with AI’ing/ET for hire independently without a vet on site. Things may have changed since I researched it years ago but I doubt it. Especially in this state. I remember I couldn’t AI any cattle I didn’t own myself without a vet on site. It was difficult to get the hormones needed as well (local vets didn’t want the liability) if they were being used on outside cattle. Maybe your vets won’t have a problem with it at all. Just a heads up so you don’t have issues down the line. Hopefully things have changed but it put a major damper on my business plans and the ET school didn’t even know about it until I asked for help when I got back. Good luck! AI is loads of fun and even with all the legal/vet issues it has been well worth it. [/QUOTE]
