[QUOTE="Harv4438, post: 1263728, member: 23933"] Looking for advice on whether it makes sense for me to go to AI school. I have been planning on taking an AI course by next year to do the task on my cattle. We just got done with timed AI breeding 2 weeks ago. Had an ABS tech do the inseminating and a comment he made has me wondering if its a good idea for me to go through with it. This was the 1st I've used AI and it went really well. The cows went through the chute 3 times with very little trouble and responded well with the 7 day co-sycnch protocol. The comment made by the tech was that you have to inseminate a lot of cows before you get good at it, so I'm thinking does it really make sense for me to do this myself? Can I get good at it if I only do this once a year? And add in the fact that if I did the inseminating I'd still need someone to move the cattle into the chute which was my job this past season. The question is: can I get trained, do the job and get a good conception rate the 1st year or will I end up with a bunch more open cows? [/QUOTE]
