[QUOTE="certherfbeef, post: 101563, member: 190"] There is no [i]somewhat[/i] obsessed here. That tank gets checked religiously once a week. If the Genex rep is gonna be held up, I get a prompt phone call. Too much invested in that stuff not to pay that $20 for a fill every 8 weeks. Don't want to lose those few straws of good red angus semen I have left. Select Sires rep was maintaining our tank 7 or 8 years ago. Had been for that many before. The top of the tank was froze up one day when he can in to charge it. And just so happened to be a hammer laying on the bench there. He used the hammer to tap the plug out of the tank to fill it. In the process it exploded blowing all but one cane into the hay mow and covering him with nitrogen. He ran out of the barn hooting and hollering and stripping his shirt off. He was ok but has never been back since. Lost some good old hereford semen that day. The only semen that didn't land in the hay was a herf bull called Knight Ryder. I went ahead and tossed it into the hay too. [/QUOTE]
