[QUOTE="WB Angus, post: 1714910, member: 40323"] I'm sure lubricant is a great way and more "foolproof" for lack of better words. One picture I did not take nor did I mention is that I keep a roll of paper towels near and wipe every vulva clean whether it appears dirty or not. Good point you made. Definitely need to remove any manure or other debris. As far as lube goes we find the chlorhexidine solution works for a pretty good lubricant. I rinse the CIDR applicator in one bucket immediately after use. I then load the applicator with a CIDR and put it in the second bucket of solution and give it a good swirl right before application. Never have had a problem with this process. Our tech does it the same way and does thousands each year. These pictures are of cows. We did heifers a couple weeks back and I will use a little lube on some of them if the applicator doesn't want to start in with ease. As I mentioned to Ken I don't force anything so if it doesn't start in with ease as most of the time it does I will add a little lubricant. [/QUOTE]
