[QUOTE="Hunter, post: 1322828, member: 25000"] Could potentially save money if you went the AI route. Give the heifer two chances to take and if she doesn't then sell her. If you start with 20 heifers and 60% take the first time and another 60% the next you would be left with 16 or 17 bred heifers. Hopefully you end up with at least 15 calves. Let's say open heifers cost you $1,300 a head. 20 X 1,300 = $26,000. In my little experience a good Angus heifer bull will run you $3,500+. Or you could AI for about $1,400. (20 head first round and 8 the second) This scenario will cost you $27,400 minimum and does not include any other expenses. How much could you sell these calves for? Hopefully I am not that far off with my numbers. [/QUOTE]
