My day(Wed.)

My days start at 6:00 am. I travel to area farms breeding cattle and horses for farmers. It actually takes quite a lot of arm strength to AI a cow. One arm wears a long glove and is inserted rectally, searching for and grasping the cervix, fighting against the clamping rectal contractions cutting off the circulation to that arm. The other hand, meanwhile, is busy trying to guide the pipette, or semen gun, through the reproductive tract to deposit the semen into the uterus. So, I have to sleep now, more tomorrow...

My first post


Hello all. If the image doesn't explain my job, I'll give you a little info. I am a

Artificial Insemination technician. I breed cows and horses and also pregnancy check them. It really is pretty exciting, really.
