From my limited experience I think that sows are only really fertile for something like 24 hours during the couple of weeks that they are on heat so a short holiday with an experienced boar would be more reliable than AI .
There is apparently quick a knack to performing AI --- it is not just a case of putting the tube up there , so to speak . It has to at a particular angle .
Others on this forum should be able to offer better advice than I can . Good Luck !
