AI For a new breeder??

To start off we are new to this, but i was just wondering the proper way of artificially inseminating cattle? I understand natural heat detection is the best but we work off farm and cannot be around all the time. We are attempting to build a quality herd of shorthorns by using different genetics that are common in Canada. We only have 6 that we want to ai this year, with a clean up bull that will give us a good live calf but we want to try  some AI and see if we can get em to stick.  any advice is much appreciated.

Use a proven synchronization procedure and timed AI. Contact your AI technician for their preferred method.

Here is a good syncronization planner.  Lots of info for different synch protocols and will even figure total cost of synch & A.I.
