[QUOTE="Redgully, post: 1817438, member: 33533"] Does anyone have good tips for starting in the cervix of heifers. Ive been doing my own a.i. for a few years now and getting quite good at it. Maybe one in ten cows i wont get through cervix but can pretty much always get a start. But i really struggle with heifers. I can get gun to cervix and feel the grating of the entrance but in 50% of cases i cant get started in the cervix. When i do i can mostly get through. Is there anything im missing here. I move tip of gun left, right, up and down. Wiggle it a bit, try not touching cervix, holding cervix, pulling it forward, pushing it back. Ive even tried going early and late which makes no difference. I see techs go in and get through in seconds. Any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
