[QUOTE="dun, post: 498776, member: 34"] 1. With proper storage there really isn;t a shelf life with properly prepared/frozen semen 2. The number of straws doesn;t really matter all that much as long as there is adequate storage capacity. It's the nitrogen capacity and neck size that matters. Those are the issues that mostly determine working time. And working time is the most important feature of any tank. 3. I have yet to figure out why more then 1 straw is required for normal AI. With quality semen, correct timing, proper handling and deposition of the semen accurately it's a waste of money. If any of the other things aren;t right, a gallon of the stuff probably wouldn;t get the job done either. 4. Haven;t attended a course put on by Genex. Depending on the breed they have a pretty good to mediocre selelction of bulls to choose from. But my requirements in a bull are different then others so what I see as mediocre someone else may see the same bull as outstanding. [/QUOTE]
