AI is great because dairy farmers have less to worry about if they have to handle dairy bulls. Dairy bulls are VERY dangerous and can turn unexpectedly on anything that moves and put it in the ground. AI eliminates the constant use of these mad creatures and allows for more choice of what semen from which bull to breed what cow. AI thus allows a more flexible way of using semen from several different bulls on one or two cows without having to rent or buy the actual bulls.

∙ 11y agoArtificial insemination in cattle is an alternative method of breeding cattle and is a method used for producers wishing to not keep a bull for their cows, or to take advantage of the superior genetics offered by other breeders from bulls that other producers cannot obtain for their cowherd. One bull can give thousands of samples and straws of semen which can be shipped all over the country, if not the world. Cows are confined in a quiet box or enclosure and have an AI gun inserted into their uterus which deposits semen from a bull to impregnate them. Cows can only be AI'd if they are in heat.
