Badlands,
My only experience, so far, has been with the 45 head they brought into the barn at the sale auction, where the class was held. Most every dairy, holstein, I found the cervex at about 10 or 11 inches in, guessing by my arm length, just over the pelvic rim into the body cavity, sometimes just bent over. I could find the cervex and pull it up to me, but after the gun was through the cervex, the O ring on the gun was up tight with the cows vagina opening. The beef cross, mostly angus cross, was about 6 to 8 inches in, half way up my arm. The deep cervex's in the holsteins could be because of being at the auction yard, old cows, breeding problems, etc.
I plan to AI late May or the first of June, outside temps should be around 70 degrees F.
