Artificial Insemination
In early December I had the cows AI'd. The photograph is of Tawnie, as she was the first to cycle. After they had all been done over the next few days we put heat/pressure patches on them again just before Christmas and waited to see if any didn't take. I had Jemma and Sandy done again in early January. I will observe them over the next three weeks, but I think I will just leave it now and see what happens. The AI girl has a few other commitments over the next month and may not be able to fit me in. Initially the cows were very reluctant to go through the race but they are getting better at it now. Today I got them all through by myself and removed the heat patches, leaving Jemma and Sandy in ready for the final AI.
