[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 297957, member: 1258"] Bama, We are new to AI'ing and when I was reading up about it I kept reading the same thing - keep them still and stress free for higher conception rates. So, all of our purebreds are bucket trained. They will follow anywhere I lead them keeping their head out of the bucket until it is put on the ground. So I thought oats would be the easiest way to keep them still and calm. They followed me up the chute had their oats (a small bucket filled to the first joint on my finger - it's a joke but don't tell them that) and went out. The cost is nothing because I don't give them much and I had thought it would be time consuming but it actually took less time because they were all in a hurry to get to that bucket and there was no hesitation. I've never used that method before but I am starting to think it may be the way to go for vaccinating too, for the purebreds anyway. I'm like you, I want quick in - quick out and no stress for cow or person. [/QUOTE]
