[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1291490, member: 16453"] One of the biggest problems with learning AI is getting the practice especially if you seasonally join. It is all done over a couple of weeks and by the end you might be starting to get consistent at it and then it is 12 months before you do it again. Spreading it out by heat detecting only or synch small batches helps a lot and you get a bit of a rest to think about what you did wrong between groups but your tight calving suffers. One thing that I think is important when inseminating but I never see mentioned is diet. If they are on a paddock of lush green feed and are scouring a bit and can end up sucking a lot of air in the vagina making things difficult especially if a group are synch together, when they are mounting each other you can often hear the air rushing in.
