Aye, and it's not my cows fault cos everything I want to be in calf is in calf, herd calving interavle less than 370 days, success rate with conventional AI is 75 to 85% depending on time of year - they should put more wigglers in each straw.
Rant (by no means) over.

Vet told me the other say that sexed semen isn't much use on cows and far better conception from heifers. I have no experience of sexed semen however.

Good looking limousin lineup @shearerlad. Puts my list to shame. Have you tried powerful irish yet? Seen a few of the anside bulls about, and they look good

I've got 2 Irish calves. A Nov 15 bullock out of a lim X blue cow and a 3 month old pure heifer out of a middledale shergar daughter.
Both are good albeit a touch narrow
Cross calf and his mother last winter

Impressive list there shearerlad, good selection of lims, used a lot of lovejoy in the past, few more Charolais on it and you would be some boy!

Does anyone have any magical ideas for getting dropped goblets out of here? I've just spent half an hour shaking and swilling with only limited success.

Popes laird,
Sterling Rapier
lots of others I can't remember plus Various MRI semen.
Some shorthorn 20 straws that aren't mine but have been in store some 10 years.
Our current stock Bull is by Kilbride Farm Barrister ,who I haven't clue how long he has been dead.

How did you get on? If you get them out can they still be used?

I got them out after about another 20 minutes of swilling. 45 degrees is the optimum angle!
They'll be fine to use, I had a ready supply of LN to keep them cool
