[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1077415, member: 17767"] Sometimes a beginner can help another beginner. I have been doing some AI on the fall calvers and a few heifers. Something that I learned may help others. Getting the gun to the cervix, was not difficult, but on a couple it took time to get the gun started into the opening of the cervix. When you read the manual, it states "Get the gun to the cervix, and then place the cervix over the gun". I was over focusing on those words. When I would get to the cervix, I was tending to over work the cervix thinking I had to fit it over the end of the gun. I think what the manual should say is, "Get the gun to the cervix, grip the vaginal end of the cervix and start the gun in the cervix. Then, manuver the cervix over the shaft of the gun." I solicit review of this thought by you experienced folks. Because what I found myself doing was trying to "pick up the cervix and slide it over the gun." I think it takes some manuvering of the cervix to thread it over the shaft of the gun but getting the gun started into the opening is a not as much "placing the cervix over the gun as the manual makes it sound." Ken and CP would you guys comment on this? [/QUOTE]
