[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1470127, member: 16453"] Ron I like doing my heifers things just seem nice and precise, small cervix to get through but also small vagina so the gun can't get too far away from the os. I occaisionally get a fidget but they are usually not too bad, I don't catch their head as being shorter than mature cows they fit nicely between the headgate and the kickgate that closes behind them and protects me and I don't have to reach out to do them and I think that helps them to stand quitely. I had one that I think was pregnant when I did them the 1st time (4th photo) her uterus was like a cow that had calved just a couple of weeks, must have been neighbours bull, I caught him luring the bull back through the fence with a bucket of feed last year from heifers and doubt doubt that he would have said anything if I did not catch him in the act. Another (4th photo) has returned twice the last time she was scanned at 7 weeks in calf and I saw it on the screen but came in a week later so a few things are making it a bit heckly peckly. Thanks JS, yeh I do like the Thunderbirds I think 5 of my 8 heifers are by him, I have 2 on their 2nd calf now that are doing a very good job and these will be my last Thunderbirds I like to use a bull for 3 years if I am happy with their 1st calves and then move on. PF Broadview is a US sire, he is one I am sampling at a special price (cheap, cheap) so they can record some Australian performance figures on him. I usually get 20 doses of these new ones every year and mostly use them on cows that I know will be moving on, not really in the spirit of the arrangement but I will usually record a few myself.
