[QUOTE="NolanCountyAG, post: 1483477, member: 24296"] I've just recently finished having calves from my first year of doing AI. I went to the Bovine Elite school in July of 16. I was able to go to Oklahoma that fall and got to breed 60 cows. So I felt like I had a good understanding of what I was getting into. I bred 16 2yr olds with their first calf on them to Conneally Capitalist. I synched and watched heats and got 10 stuck. I was happy with the results of this group. I did have 3 that never showed signs of heat and ended up not inseminating them. Next was a group of 25 heifers that I used the fixed 7 day protocol on. Bred to Back To Basics. Ended up only covering 12 with AI, I wasn't pleased with my conception rate on this group but also didn't know what to expect with the heifers. My arm just wore out and I think that really hurt with technique. Last was a group of 41, 4 yr olds. Bred to Conneally Impression. Used the Fixed time 7 day protocol. I had 30 calves AI sired out of this group. Cervixs on this group just seemed so easy. I think by this point I had just gotten in to a routine. Overall all for the year, I enjoyed it and glad that I have started AI work in my herds. I just bred a group of heifers last week to Broken Bow and felt a lot better this time around. [/QUOTE]
