We used to do artificial insemination on the Farm


Meet Gene, my brother-in-law who grew up on a farm in Minnesota....the land of snow and cows.


The other night we were all at dinner talking about the fertility treatments and I mentioned that our next step would be to do artificial insemination if we're not pregnant this month. Gene says, oh yeah, we used to do that all the time with the cows back home on the farm....(hmm, me - cow - same procedure???) He says, "We used to get that long turkey baster like syringe and just shove it up there to give them a fighting chance of getting pregnant." He's telling us all how they clean the bull semen prior to the procedure, etc and I'm like, oh this is great! Now I'm having the same procedure as a cow. :(
