    Guy called Tom Kilpatrick,in north, used to work for Genus, seems to have good reputation, I hadnt done it before and his name kept cropping up,got neighbour to do ai.
    He did recommend that pregnasure, but couldnt get my hands on it easily so giving them a fertility mineral and adding some flax oil with some omega3 instead. 1000E a ton seems dear alright.

    Flushed two already for me, not great results, one had 6 eggs,one fertilized, (think I was too quick with the Ai'ing) the other had 7, three fertilized. Dung was probably to soft too on them so now throwing a bit of straw into mix.
    Stuck embryos into four recips, looks like two of them holding at the minute. Going to flush one again, put other into calf.
