[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 1080113, member: 8265"] Plus bulls are a pain. Like to beat stuff up, and tend to go wandering if ladies are on nearby farms, so you would need better fences. You would also hope that AI bulls are much better than whatever local bulls are, and have more accurate EPDs based on many more calves. Don't know how to place a dollar value on better calves, but surely that can cover a lot of the AI expense. Did you say $100 for one AI service? I found a young dairyman near here who offered to do it for $20 each (I bought semen). I told him I'd pay $50 just to keep him interested, as I have but a couple of cows. He stores semen for nothing. Do you have any dairies nearby? [/QUOTE]
