[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 498774, member: 6734"] 1. Considering its kept in liquid nitrogen, do the semen straws have a shelf life or will they keep indefinately with proper storage (keeping nitrogen filled)? 2. Storage.. I'm looking to invest in a tank...MVE seems to be a common brand... I've heard to invest in more tank than you think you'll ever need because the excess straws start to add up when you start switching bulls (and you obviously want to keep them). Is the small $500 one a decent one? (looking for personal experience here) Was looking at the SC 20/20 but notice the SC 36/32 holds same number of straws (540) but has double the working days 3. I thought you only used 1 straw per cow... but see some mention using 2.... what do you all do? It seems to me with the millions of swimmers in there that 1 would do the trick if you got a good standing heat. 4. Looking into attending one of the AI schools put on by GENEX... would be in Missouri - 3day course... has anyone attended a GENEX AI course and if so what did you think? Did you do the option that includes semen? If so, did you like the sires to choose from? Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
