[QUOTE="Cattleman200, post: 603766, member: 951"] For the most part Whitecow has posted the pretty much most through post for the question. ET is however a much more sensitive procedure that AI from everything to thawing the embryo (if frozen) to making sure you insert the embryo into the correct horn. I usually have 5-8 donors flushed per year and I do all the set up work at my farm including super ovulation and other shots to getting the cows bred. You also have to have a different gun to use for putting the embryo in than is used in AI. Its usually a longer thinner gun designed for ET work. The straws that the embryos are frozen in are smaller than a typical semen straw. Handling and transferring embryos bottom line is simply much more sensitive than AI. Circle H Ranch [/QUOTE]
