[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1671899, member: 14585"] It sounds like you are practicing on cattle that are not in heat. When a cow is in a good heat the cervix firms up, making locating and threading it easier. It can be frustrating for newbies dealing with a soft mushy cervix. One trick when dealing with a soft cervix is very very gently touch the ovary. The ovaries are very sensitive and a gentle touch often will cause the cervix to firm up. It's a catch-22 as proper technique comes from experience. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
