Put the first straw in last night, many more to come.

The Moo Monitor sniffed her out like a truffle. She was having a "silent" heat, no observable signs, until I went out and saw her under a shade tree and the discharge was coming out strong.

This isn't even fair, LOL! Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Put that straw in just ahead of the peak, fingers crossed.

She is a somewhat old momma, but a very good one, 9 years old, and has given us some solid calves. She's been blessed thus far, so I'm feeling good about this one.

Fantastic. Congratulations.

Good job. Nice slow injection.

It would be near impossible to heat detect on my setup. All the cows are on the back under shade.

It was textbook, from the handling, to the thawing, to the time it took to get the straw in. "Magic Hands" put it right on both uterine horns.

The semen was frozen on 5-22-2019.

This was done naturally as well, only using the collar, not synched.

That horizontal green line is rumination, once it forms a "V", that has historically for me, been the sweet spot for the injection.

Just wish it was sexed. If so, I could create a brand new herd of females in just one year flat.

I see the value of the monitor system. I gave up spring AI. The way my farm is organized, heat detection is a horror story. The cows congregate on the bottoms on the back of the farm. I would have to shoot one and drag her to the front of the farm to breed her.

You shoot ‘em and your success rate will really suffer.

That's why I love the ole grain bucket. They are like kids in the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory. They see it and they come running. LOL!

Now. That is funny. I am sure it is meant in fun.

 

[Bright Raven]

I hope she sticks. Good for you Brook. Must be exciting.

I think its great that you guys are friends

I’m just messing with Hook, nothing personal at all.

? Yes no nun ya business just curious if you do your own AI work or have a tech, not a difficult question.

He is on timeout. He has a neighbor who is in the video who has bred thousands of cows. He also works with Genetics Plus. There is a User on these boards who works for Genetics Plus.

Brook is learning under the tuledge of Genetics Plus owner, David.

got Ya, having someone like that is a curse as well as a blessing. Our herdsman Mike is as good an AI tech as you will find anywhere which has been a blessing. When he got sick and was unable to breed for a season it turned out it was a curse. Having someone that good makes it difficult to say no I will do it knowing your conception % just went down 20 to 30% or 50%. That is why no matter what now I breed a group each year, I won’t ever be as good as Mike but I won’t be at a total loss like we were when he was down.
