[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1468357, member: 14661"] I'm really picky. I want it thawed enough so that the straw doesn't crack when I whack the end off of twenty straws at a time with a pair of kitchen scissors. :lol: I think you get more benefit by handling it fast than you do by being exact. I've pocket thawed lots of semen and it still works. I've thawed it in cold water and it still works. I've thawed half of it and left half frozen when my thaw box was running low and it still works. In fact my biggest pet pieve with new relief breeders was when they crack out the forceps and start tinkering with a straw at a time. Just grab what you need and get the rest back in the tank.
