Aw yes....
We've got three more to do tonight.

I learned to AI over a year ago when I was working on the University farm. We ran over 100 head of dairy cows, all had to be AI, about 300 head of beef cattle but only about 100 to AI. It got old fast.

If you have a toothbrush in your hand while attempting this, you can just about brush the cow's teeth...


EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW farm porn

Lets put it this way, when you're doing this, you really get to know the animal. Yes you can brush and floss for them.

I too died laughing as I typed it....

Glad you guys like it.

I saw the AI done on "Dirty Jobs" at a horse farm. It's not a job for me. I had to train myself to fillet a fish. I have a gag reflex about as long as a finger nail. I'd rather make sparks.

Me too....

It's not that bad, the hardest part is fighting to keep your arm in it's rectum while it's trying to push (poop) your arm out. Other than that, it really isn't that bad.

I don't believe you said that. It's time to move on.
My face hurts from laughing so much.


Jim

Oh it gets rough, you laugh but some of them butts squeeze so hard it feels like your arm is in a vise and it moves on down from your fingers to your shoulder. Butt enough of this crap

Oh my, what an ugly picture that paints.

So the trailer squeezer divider thingy works as planned then. Good, we all like to see a plan come together.


Jim

Hilarious !! Thanks for the laughs.

Here's another one I can't believe was said. If you're gonna try to inseminate anything other than a heifer (ie: bull,steer)
you're gonna have a real bad day. Just an observation!
Geeze, I can't quit laughing about this. See what you started.

Well you can inseminate a cow, that is different from a heifer

Well thank goodness for that. I was worried about the poor bull.
Obviously I haven't any experience with farm life. There weren't many bovine on my block
when growing up . . . . or afterwards for that matter. They sure so taste good off of the grill though.

Jim

Useally,
Cows over 12-15 yrs old cant be AI'd.
Can't thread the stupid thing.

Bulls just pour the stuff in, and it gets to the right place.

I like using a bull instead of AI any day. It is simpler and you know the job gets done.

Yes,
But we get semen from some $20,000 fancy breed bulls.
You can get any genetics you want....
