[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 674550, member: 1682"] I tried to answer on CC yesterday, but it wouldn't respond. Biggest reason is infertile cows. 3 types of cows when AI'ing. #1 - Cow catches every time, no matter how much semen is used or what time of the cycle or on the first cycle after she calves. #2 - Cow catches most times, but with certain conditions. (ie maybe using two straws of semen, breeding at the right time in the cycle and waiting for the 2nd or 3rd cycle. #3 - Cow catches once in a blue moon. Everything can be perfect and they won't catch. #1 and #2 cows are what you want in your herd. Cull all the #3's as they are easy to pick out. More masculine, very little feminity, coarse through their body and have a terrible time catching even with a natural bull (ie, their breeding date falls behind each year) Get rid of the #3's and you'll see a big improvement in your AI'ing. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
