[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1671995, member: 38038"] I have been doing my own AI breeding for probably 35 years now. started with the dairy herd and now with beef. all the info posted so far is good advise. My AI training sounds the same as yours almost. we had the trainer buying cows at the sale barn to train on and them resell them the following week. We started with reproductive tracks on a table that they purchased from the local locker before doing the cows. I can't think of one simple tip to pass on because each cow/heifer is unique. My best advise is not to get discouraged and their is no substitute for experience. When I first started doing my own, I had my local AI tech come a few times to my farm at breeding time; he would check to see if I was where I needed to be to deposit semen and give advise as needed. Glad he had good patience with me because I was not very good/fast at the beginning. I still have problems with some and if they do come back in heat, it is not uncommon to slide right through the second time. It just depends I think on how everything is situated in there at breeding time. Good luck and feel free to keep us updated or ask more questions. [/QUOTE]
