    Have you a bull. Had cows in past ai was a pain and one look at the bull and she was in calf. If her bloodlines are good then worth a go.

    I'd second bull, we had to do the same with a pb limo before, always held to AI after the first year with the bull.
    She might be releasing the egg early or late so difficult to catch with AI, bull would cover her enough to cover that!

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Heifers can be difficult to ai, run her with a bull this year, then try ai next year.

    Are you causing her much stress getting her in for AI as that can be a factor too.

    At this stage let her off with the bull and let nature take its course
