[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 567643, member: 8265"] Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, AI isn't very cheap for me, so I think I'll wait. Would be fun to conduct some research, but one cow isn't a very big sample size. Let me make the story longer. I made a poor judgment a few days ago and had him AI her. I had seen mucus discharge the day before and figured that was the best signs of heat I was going to get with a single cow. THis is the first year I've only had one cow. I was thinking of the guy I sold a heifer to last year which calved in February, and he's just now figuring out her cycles. My cow's first heat post-calving on July 20 was weak - just alittle discharge. (Years past she'd had strong first heats, and I've even bred her successfully on them.) So I called the AI guy and had him breed her the next day. THen the day after that, bammo - strong heat signs, much more discharge, jumping on calf and vice versa, bawling, etc. My fault, I didn't tell him my story until he had his arm in her - he said he wasn't getting much discharge out of her. So, I'm thinking maybe there'll be a miracle - I just need a single sperm implanted 5:30 AM on Aug 9 to be good when she ovulates morning of Aug 11. [/QUOTE]
