[QUOTE="Redgully, post: 1617085, member: 33533"] I find if they have air trapped it is when i play around too much, i then wait for them to push and push my forearm to the left breaking the seal and let it come out. I have also been putting a disposable latex glove on over the large glove to give me better feeling. Another mistake i made early on was to hold the cervix too close to the opening and was basically holding it shut. Now i hold it further down with my thumb and finger and the remainder rests on my other fingers to guide it. But there are some cows that are just plain difficult, i had one that was so deep i was up to my shoulder and the entire gun was inside her, but it was easy to get through cervix once there. I have one cow at the moment whos cervix is tilted down sharply, a.i.d her four times now for three pregnancies and each time has been really difficult, last time i gave up in middle of cervix but she still stuck.
