So yesterday, exactly 21 days after Norma was in heat, which I wrote this post about finding Norma a bullfriend, Norma was again in heat. This means that her first breeding wasn’t successful and we needed to try again. This time I had my camera handy and got photos along the way. Probably needless to say, if you are offended by words like sperm, semen, vulva, cervix or photos of cow lady bits, you should probably go read this post instead. But if you are someone who wants to learn more and aren’t easily offended… Join me on a photo tour of our attempt to get Norma knocked up using Artificial Insemination.
First a short video to get you in the mood….. No, not that mood.

This brings me back to my repro management days where we had to pass 10 catheters on the dairy farm to pass the class! It’s defiantly a learned skill – great post!

you do an awesome job! I’ve thought of blogging (as a dairy farmer) but I could never do it the way you do! Thanks.
