AI’ing @ 66% Success!!!

September 2018 was the first time that we attempted to AI our goats ourselves. The last two years, we have had Capra-Gia (Mark Stevens) to AI them for us. We are THRILLED with our 66% success rate!!

Three mature does were AI’d and two of the three conceived. This 66% success rate is great for a first attempt. Tempo Kim and MLRT Victoria both conceived and will freshen on February 2, 2019. We induce parturition to ensure we are home during every delivery due to possible life-threatening complications that may arise.

Here are my AI notes and the protocol I used to sync their estrus cycles.
The girls are all in a raging heat and staring/flirting with the bucks (who are just to the left of this photo.
Here are the girls waiting to be let into their stalls.
