I saw people using some kind of AI gun, on a big sheep farm to inseminate the female sheep. They just lifted the sheep's back legs, inserted the AI gun and clicked, marked the sheep, and released her. All done in like a second. Which got me thinking about the AI process with goats. How different are sheep "there" then goats? If they are the same why can't you use a sheep AI gun on a goat? it sure seems less stressful then the way they teach you to do AI on goats. It was like a silver metal gun with a trigger, it was a heavy duty looking thing with like a funnel, and they just loaded the semen straw in and they were ready to rock and roll. Anyone know what that gun was called and if it is specifically for sheep, and if so could it be used on goats?
