[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 649189, member: 4353"] I was taught in AI school to deposit half just the otherside of the cervix in the body of the uterus before the horns and then pull back and depsoit the rest in the cervix. Now I've found that if you struggle to get through the cervix, especially in virgin heifers, if you reverse the process and deposit half the semen in the cervix it lubricates it just that touch more and the pistolette ususally just slips through after depositing the first half. What also works when the cow isn't co-operating and keeps arching her back and keep trying to push your hand out is to leave the gun inside (just blocking it from falling out with your body), with your left hand still in her rectum and "ring her bell" a few times with your right hand, that will relax her and her back will go concave (so she can't push), in that time you can regrip the cervix and start manipulating it through the cervix again using your right hand as usual on the gun.
