[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2554"] Cows that are calm in the chute or wahtever used as a breeding restraint have a higher conception rate then the excited ones. I think it may be a two fold cause and affect. An excited cow gets, hotter plus the adrenalin may cause a problem, don't know about that part of it. My part of the equation is that it's harder to deposit the semen accurately if the cows is jumping around and acting up. My only two rebreeds this year were from heifers that got goofy in the chute and kept jumping around. I felt I was on target or I wouldn't have deposited the system, but if they jump once you start depositing it you can't tell where it really ends up. Both of them settled second service and didn't get as excited the second time. The first time with an arm up their butt may unnerve them some what. dun > I was also just told by one of the > semen distributors that our high > conception rate can probably be > attributed to keeping things calm > and quiet. > AnnB [/QUOTE]
