[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1253295, member: 18809"] Did the ones you put eggs in stick? We had really poor conceptions a few years ago, seems our thermos was shocking the semen (a short), and killing it. We figured it out eventually, but I spent a ton on semen and lost a lot of time. Try putting the fence tester tip in the thermos, see if you get any readings. We now unplug the thermos before we drop the semen in. If I have a cow that does not stick AI, I will try a cheap embryo in her. Most will stick the embryo. Knock on wood, our AI and embryos are going well. We have not had to use the Lock n Load bull yet! I kind of want to, but AI calves are more valuable than a calf out of a herd bull. [/QUOTE]
