[QUOTE="novaman, post: 721771, member: 2744"] I'm agreeing with dun on this one. There is far more semen than you need in one straw. I've even heard of people splitting one straw between two cows, but I wouldn't recommend that anymore than using two straws on one cow. I believe most semen companies shoot for 20 million sperm in a standard half cc straw. I use some sexed semen in a quarter cc straw that only contains 2 million sperm and still have good conceptions. The amount of semen is not nearly as important as getting it put in the proper location. [/QUOTE]
