[QUOTE="dun, post: 64505, member: 34"] One straw per cow, if the timing isn;t right you can put twenty straws in and you still won't get a calf. We only use semen from studs that are CSS certified. All of the major studs that I'm aware of are. They have standards for motility, viability, disease, etc. that some of the others may not subscribe to. Either the technician is trying to get in your shorts, or he/she/it isn't much of a tech. or is using inferior semen. For every 4 I plan to breed to a particualr bull I buy 5 straws. I have a number of onesies left. Each year we use up some of the onesies just to clear out the tank. We breed them ones, keep an eye on them starting about 16 days after we bred them, if they should come back in, not very common, we'll breed them again and turn them out with everybody else. If they don't settle I'll know eigther from their activity or when we preg check in the fall. Open hefiers grow wheels. Haven't had one that was bred grow wheels in many years. dun [/QUOTE]
