[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 768984, member: 4353"] I find that more problematic than AI-ing heifers with small cervixes, especially in old cows where the cervix is so big my hand don't fit around it to hold it properly, then often guessing where the tip of the pistolette is is the only option. Atleast with heifers you KNOW you are through the cervix or if you're not sure you are likely not. Dun, my dad did his training in the '70s and they taught him to deposit it all in the uterus just past the third ring, I did mine in the '90s and was told to do the half and half deal, a friend of mine did his training the other day and he got taught techniques to expell air from the rectum that I have never even heard mentioned before. I guess every trainer add his own twist to the deal. Two years ago after I had the Guillaine Barre the vet had to AI for me, two heifers came in heat a day after the timed AI so my dad had to AI for the first time in 20 years and they both settled so I guess its like riding a bicycle....
