We have finished the AI project. Forty-two thousand heifers have been bred over the last month. Six hundred to 700 were bred each day on one ranch. Three ranches were usually breeding at the same time. We had some nice AI guys staying in the boys house. We fed them occassionally and I got to chauffeur them around in my sweet ride - see the last picture. They taught the boys how to thaw semen and load AI guns, and they even gave them a chance to AI.
