[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1023499, member: 17767"] I AI'ed a heifer yesterday morning. It went real well. She relaxed. Found her cervix, got the gun through it in 8 seconds, and found the tip on the other side right where I could tell was the ideal position and deposited the semen. THe whole thing took less than 3 minutes. I turned her out and was feeling real happy. Then I looked at the gun. I noticed that I did not seat the sheath all the way back. I have the komicolor gun. You use the sheath with the blue insert. I noticed that there was some semen in the space between the gun and sheath. I am guessing that I may have lost about 20 % of the semen because the straw was not totally seated. I guess I found something else to pay closer attention to the next time. How much will this decrease the odds of success? Anyone else have this happen? [/QUOTE]
