[QUOTE="Aero, post: 226594, member: 2076"] the blood is a warning flag for me and havent seen much of that. someone smarter than me might be able to tell you why. patience is the key. when you get a CIDR loaded, make sure is plenty of lube on it. we like to make sure the string is hanging down from the injector. when you go in, angle it up, over the hump and go in easy until it stops. we you are in, push the ejector without pulling back out very much and slowly ease back an inch or 2. if you are moving back and the string sicoming with the injector, you didnt get it ejected. just think about what's happening; the 2 ears are going to spring out and then tryto find a flange of sorts to hold onto. if you wiggle it around a little, it will have a better chance of catching. usually, if you can see the tip of the CIDR, you didnt get it in so just pull it out and try again. go slow and be patient. one other thing to watch for is a dropped CIDR. try to check the cows for their blue string every day (or twice/day). if it's missing, just put another one back in and pretend nothing happened (unless you went a full day or so without it). make sure you are using an injector made for those particular CIDRs (hopefully with the same name on them). also make sure the cylinder part of the CIDR slides in and out of the injector reasonably well. there's no reason you cant check the injector outside of the cow to see what adjustments to your technique might be necessary. there isnt a reason you cant modify the gun. it's much easier to manufacture with the length that it comes. i imagine this is one of those where it would be better to make it like you say, but mfg costs defeated effectiveness concerns. (complete speculation) have fun and good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
