[QUOTE="RisingCreekHerefords, post: 1300768, member: 24704"] I went to the Cattle Visions AI school in November and became certified. I wasn't very confident in my abilities but I at least had the anatomy and the gist of what I was supposed to do. I figured I could do it, it would just take me longer than expected. Fast forward to this morning, I had 5 reg. Hereford heifers to breed. I could NOT get the first straw to cut RIGHT from the start so one straw wasted. Got through the first heifer, moved on...well the third heifer LAID down on me. Then, the fifth heifer went perfectly...until the straw of semen would not eject all the way when the plunger was pushed. The sheath had come loose. I'm also not 100% certain I got any of them completely through the cervix. :bang: I just feel like a total failure and that I am completely unable to do this. I guess i'm not smart enough to AI. :frowns: Anyone else been where I am? [/QUOTE]
