[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 29866, member: 9"] Don't underestimate the precision for A.I.ing an animal. Cows start cycling about 21 days after last heat and ready to re-breed 60-75 days after calving). With only one cow, a human detecting her optimal breeding time is significantly less accurate than having a gomer cow/steer or a bull around to do it for you. If the actual insemination is not done at the proper window at ovulation, it won't take and you have to try again. Check with the Animal Science Department (if they have one) at Michigan State University or University of Michigan. Also, check with the Department of Veterinary Science (or similar agency) at the State of Michigan. One or more of these agencies should be able to provide you with the name(s) of certified A.I. Technicians or Vets that do this for you. On a sidebar, when we A.I. one of our Longhorns, we take her several days before expected ovulation to the A.I. Facility and leave her there until she ovulates and then they A.I. her. They are the "experts." :D [/QUOTE]
