What does it approximately cost to AI heifers in texas? I have never done this, not even sure if my vet can do it , but I am curious to see if its cheaper to AI than it is to just buy a bull.
I was thinking about semen running about $20 a straw and I am not real sure about what other costs are involved.(which is why I am asking)
The biggest cost in my opinion is your TIME, it is really tough if you work a full time job. The heat detection and timing has been my biggest obstacle.
I was talking to my AI rep last night when he came by to fill my tank and mentioned to him that I wasn't sure if I would continue doing AI after this fall and coming spring.
Best of luck to you.
