[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1070931, member: 16769"] Well, THAT was interesting! All humans involved were virgins/first experimenters with this test. Our AI guy was able to come out later in the day. We fumbled around a little. One heifer and one cow should have had little red multiple fountains going under their tails and we COULD NOT get any blood drawn there! Think they had about 500 lb. springs on those tails. We'll palpate them later, but have not seen any signs of heat on those 2 since we bred them. And one cow was actually in heat, so she'll get re-bred in the morning. Her AI date was 9/30/13; she acted like she was in on 10/22, and was standing for bulling by steers this morning (11/11) -- so she is right on time to be back in again now, and she was pink and swollen (but not much discharge); AI guy will come out and AI her again in the morning. So, we tested 4 out of 7. Even though it's 30 miles each direction for the AI guy, he did not charge us for today's adventure -- it was a learning experience for all of us. Will mail samples tomorrow, then sit and wait. Hevmando, wish I'd have thought about baby wipes. Next time. We used paper towels and rubbing alc., and that worked. For future reference . . . what length 18 ga. needles? We did not re-use any needles -- clean one for each, as supplied by Biopryn. Now, we wait a few days. Frankly, I'd be absolutely delighted if we got 6 out of 7 on single-run AI. [/QUOTE]
