[QUOTE="WarEagle73, post: 1263769, member: 19171"] You can wind up with decent conception rates your first time, but I wouldn't try synchronizing 25 cows to breed . I would find a good school close to you and start there. Between the time you take the class and when you expect to breed cows, practice as much as you can. After your cows calve, I would palpate them and practice finding the cervix. Avoid heifers your first time out. Cervix is small and they can be difficult. Regardless, it is worth taking a class. Even if you discover that you can't do it, you learn a lot a good information like proper semen handling and bull selection. A.I. is something that you get better at by doing it more often, but even someone with a small herd can do it effectively. [/QUOTE]
