[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1111423, member: 20599"] Question for Lucky or any others: We have a heifer (actually one of our buddy's but runs with ours; she failed to take on the first 2 timed AI's (ugh). She's registered and a nice heifer, so he's gonna give her one more chance. (If it were me, if I was gonna give her a final try it would be with a bull. She was def in heat last time; AI tech said he has a good-size forearm and once in a while can have a bit of trouble with a first-timer due to mechanics. So I'm guessing maybe trying with a bull might be a better option. But, not my call). At any rate, this will be our first time actually inserting the CIDR ourselves. Have observed it done now, helped vet a bit, removed them all last round, watched insertion videos etc but a couple of hygiene questions: Do we need to re-clean or use disinfectant on the inserter first (it was cleaned off last time by vet and has been inside since)? Also, I'm confused about the note above. I know we need to put lube on for the insertion (looking at OB Lube by AgriLabs; does KY jelly or vaseline work in a pinch? Was thinking vaseline is too viscous). But do you mean we should use lube having a disinfectant as part of the insertion, along with the lube? (It looked like your no-soap point was directed to the instance where you want to re-use the CIDRs a second time, which we don't plan to do, at least for now). Thanks! [/QUOTE]
