My Inseminator

Robert Whitacre is a professional artificial inseminator (AI) of cattle. He does this work with my son Matthew Davenport, who runs the Hollin Farm operation. We are breeding cows that have calved in October and November, and using semen from the Wye Plantation in Maryland. Owned and run by the University of Maryland as a research center, this farm has the oldest herds of Angus cattle in the USA. We are hoping for off-spring that will do better on grass than the kind of cattle favored by modern industrial feed lots.

Walking that close behind cattle to drive them in to a pen is a good way to get kicked.

Best way is to drop the straws into water at room/air temperature rather than the heated water baths.

I always play recordings to the cow of real life mating when I do the AI and have a very high success rate compared with others! I guess I must be doing something right!

If you thaw out the semen in water at 37 degrees centigrade for 30 seconds prior to insemination you will increase your conseption rate by 5%

Very nice. Glad that we got to see it up close. This was my first year doing A.I. on my herd.
