[QUOTE="novaman, post: 768858, member: 2744"] Don't worry Hoss, I think there are more of us having the same problems as you than you may realize. My Select Sires rep told me the same thing about heifers being easier than cows. Like you, I have a heck of a time with them. There are a few that only take a couple minutes but others have lasted for 20 minutes!!! The heifers may settle "easier" but getting the semen there certainly isn't! I've even had some heifers with a cervix so small that I can't get through the last ring. Anybody else have this issue? I've had two this year and I'm thinking my only resort is letting them with the clean up bull to get them bred the first time. It seems the gun is just to large of diameter to fit through the last of the cervix? Frustrating. Even though I want to get them bred, I dread seeing a heifer standing :help: . [/QUOTE]
