[QUOTE="Keren, post: 516621, member: 3195"] Hi and welcome back! Good to see you again :D I can give you a different perspective on CIDRs, but I'm not sure whether its relevant. I am familiar with the sheep and goat CIDRs as well as the cattle CIDRs, but I thought I would comment on the sheep ones because the pros and cons of the cattle ones have been stated already. The sheep and goat CIDRs have worked very well for us. You may or may not know that AI in sheep and goats is commonly done surgically, via a laparoscopic incision, and the semen is deposited directly into the uterus. It has to be done by a vet. For these reasons, estrous HAS to be synchronised. You can use this method of AI and use natural detection. CIDRs work well for this. I am also using CIDRs to allow for stud services for particular goats. I am able to identify the particular goat or goats I want bred, put CIDRs in them, then I put them in the trailer, take them out to where the stud sire is, and remove the CIDRs. It gives me better fertility than the AI, and generally works better if the stud sire is relatively close by, and of the same Johnes status. [/QUOTE]
