[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1139166, member: 17767"] I bred a cow AI yesterday that was in "stealth" estrus. She was about 80 days postpartum. I had not seen her cycle. I gave her a shot of Lut on Saturday morning. 5 mL in the back of the thigh. Yesterday, I saw her put her head up in an attempted mount. The other cow moved and nothing else pursued. Kept her and a couple others up at the shop area all day and watched. Only a couple more incidents of bulling behavior. Nothing you could really make any decisions on. But here is what was evident. When she laid down, her vulva was so loose, it gapped open. It was bright pink and moist. I massaged her clitoris and almost immediately, there was a clear mucus discharge. These secondary signs are all I had to go on. I waited long enough. At 3:30 pm, I put her in the chute, prepared my gun and walked out to the chute. I caught her head, put a 2x4 behind her legs, stepped behind her and in less than 20 seconds I was done. Good easy cervix and the gun went in easy. Maybe the easiest cervix to thread I have done in my short time at this. I could feel both horns of the uterus. I put the tip just at the point of separation and deposited the semen. Now, I sit and wonder where I was with regard to her cycle. Too late. Too early. ??????? [/QUOTE]
