[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1386132, member: 13402"] The boss and I went over to check heifers this morning, we knew we had several to breed. Our herdsman was tied up today so we decided to go ahead and breed them, knowing that we won't get the conception that Mike does. The boss injured his left hand a number of years ago he cut some tendons which left two of his fingers numb. It makes it very difficult for him to feel anything when he gets in the cow. We got to the farm and got the heifers penned up. Then went back to the barn to get the AI supplies. Drove back to the pen, sorted off the heifers we needed to breed. By this point both of us were sweating a bit it was down right warm out. Got the first heifer into the chute, the boss went in her and just couldn't feel anything. I gloved up and bred her we kept moving but the wind was picking up and you could see the front moving in. By the time I got to heifer #5 it was down right chilly and then the rain started. I finished up with her she was swinging her tail and giving me a fit. The rain started coming down and it felt like ice. We started rushing trying to get the heifer out of the chute, load up the semen tank keep the paperwork dry and make a run for the barn. We get back to the barn the boss wants his phone, he says don't move.

That is the thanks I get! gizmom [/QUOTE]
