[QUOTE="simme, post: 1798805, member: 40418"] You could get your vet that does BSE to look at one straw and see if there is anything unusual. Would the sample pass a BSE? If not, might be a reason for a refund. A vet certified to do BSE should be qualified to pass judgement on the thawed semen. But can't speak for issues in handling/storage. General consensus is that some bulls produce semen that settles cows better than others. Some bull's semen does not freeze well. I purchased a cane last year on a popular simmental bull. Used several straws and none of those settled. That bull is privately owned and collected. I don't want to take the risk using the rest of that semen regardless of the issue. I suspect that some collection places produce better quality semen than others. [/QUOTE]
