[QUOTE="WRFarms, post: 1348007, member: 24663"] I had one this year that I couldn't get the CIDR in. It was like hitting a wall and I was always taught that meant she was a freemartin or she was twisted up inside. I'm ashamed to say I never even thought to palpate her and immediately went to assuming she was a freemartin. I ended up calling out my vet and asking him to check her out. To my embarrassment it turned out to be an extra thick hymen. The vet used a fair bit of force to get the applicator in. It was too late for the CIDR though and she didn't get one, but she still came in heat and bred AI, so it all worked out. I learned a lesson and hopefully I'll remember it next time this happens. I'm no expert at palpation, but I can find the cervix and I'm sure I can learn to do the rest. [/QUOTE]
