[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1120170, member: 378"] I just got out of a conversation here about this, see the "SPH Wonder" thread under the breeds board. Let's say you buy 10 straws of semen for $20 each, breed 10 cows, you get 6 calves, 1 heifer and 5 bulls. Certs are $20 each but you only want to register the heifer and make the bull calves steers and sell them. So no need to register the steers. You paid $200 for the semen and only $20 for the cert, 6 calves cost you $220 to put on the ground. Same calf crop using a non cert bull, paid for the cert up front semen at $40 per straw. 10 straws, six calves, one heifer, this time it cost you $400 to put the calves on the ground. Cost you an extra $180 to prepay for the certs you didn't use. The certs are only for being able to register the calves, you still have to pay the association fees. I don't know if I gave you any new info or not, I hope it helped. [/QUOTE]
