[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 523392, member: 7956"] I was taught to cut the tail so only 2-3" was sticking out of the cow. Supposedly decreaces the chances of another cow licking the other and pulling the CIDR out. I have used CIDRs the past two years, this will be three. I have only had 1 CIDR come out of about 70 head. I have had this happen to, where you can't see the tail and think it is gone. But it is there. At least more than likely. As far as removing, they always seem to come out pretty easy. If you can't see the tail of the CIDR, an exam glove is all you need and just reach in there and pull it out. I have never had a problem pulling one out. The effectiveness of the CIDR should not matter as to how far inside the cow it is. If you are having trouble with it staying in the gun, you might try lining you CIDR gun with some OB lube. That makes it slick and one quick push from the gun and it slides right out. [/QUOTE]
