[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2550"] Heat detection is the single hardest and most important part of AI. And no, it's no harder to get a cow to settle via AI then it is for the bull. Get some type of mount detector. There are Kamars - pretty expensive, painting the tail head with a paint stick - real cheap, or a new deal that I've seen that is gray colored and has the kind of stuff on it that the lottery scrathers have on them - cheaper then Kamars but more then a paint stick. Some cows just don't seem to settle very well with the manipulation of of heats with hormone injections. The problem you run into then is being able to get a technician out when you need one if you use natural heats. BTW, there is also an eloctronic heat detector but they are very exensive for only a couple of cows.
