cidr question

[ebrown512]

How hard is it to implant a cidr. I have a good AI person, but they have never inserted a cidr. Can this be easily learned?

What is there to learn. Put it in the gun and stick it in. Leave the tail hanging out.

Yes. Very simple to do.

It's kind of like using a big bolus gun.

it takes more time to walk to the cow than to put it in . very simple prcedure . 30 seconds per cow to load the cidr and implant .

As everyone else has said....very simple. First year I used them I didn't pay attention to the "tail" part of the CIDR, so a few were sticking up in the air, and a heifer pull it out of another heifer. So with all cows I make sure the tail will curl down when inserted, and clip an inch or so off on the heifers.

Very simple to use, I do palpate heifers when planting the cidr, seems they want to come out if i don't. On the ones we are using for the second time I remove the blue "tail" and replace it with line for a string trimmer with a knot in it so I can tell first use from second use when we pull them.
