Why do you stick you arm in the cows butt to see how pregnant they are?

Because rectal palpation is the cheapest way of finding out whether a cow or heifer is pregnant or not (and "how pregnant" or rather, how far along they are). The uterus is located just below the rectum, and can easily be felt by an experienced producer or veterinarian. It's a lot cheaper than having an ultrasound done, or an ELIZA exam, and quicker a blood test, and can be performed by anyone with a little bit of training and practice and who doesn't mind sticking their arm into the rectum of a cow.

How are cows artificially inseminated?
There is a fully detailed article that answers this question in full which can be read in the related link below. Basically, though, a cow is artificially inseminated by a person having one arm up the cow's rectum to hold the cervix through the colon wall and the other arm manipulating an AI gun with a semen straw in it through that cervix into the cow's uterus. Once the tip of the gun is in the cow's uterus, semen is deposited into her. A cow can only be successfully AI'd if she was recently in heat. Otherwise she will not take nor get pregnant. Use of artificial hormones can help a producer synchronize several cow's heat cycles so that they can be AI'd all together in one day.
