[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15289"] You should be able to buy semen and hire the A.I. tech for $35 a head, maybe less if you have one close by. The extra time involved heat checking is "free" if you do it yourself, and consider the time to bring in 1-2 everyday to inseminate. At 40 head you are big enough to run 2 bulls. The second bull will either breed half or keep the first bull honest, moving from cow to cow instead of staying with one for too long. Either way you get the cows bred. A.I. is more difficult than most realize, it can be worth the effort, but takes time. We do a lot of A.I. but it takes one man almost full time during breeding season. People with off farm income usually can't afford the time. Jason Trowbridge Southern Angus Farms Alberta Canada [email=trow@attcanada.net]trow@attcanada.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
