AI in Canada

[BIZIN]

Was at Fraser's this weekend and Arno Doerksens. Looked at the cows and the bulls they have for sale and really liked the 33H daughters they both have as well as the 8020 daughters. So it got me thinking, how much would an AI company in Canada charge to AI some cows if I bought the semen? Who are some good people to talk too or is there anyone around Regina who would do it? We have an AI kit, but havent done any AI work in 20 years and dont really have the time to do it.

Contact westgen or abs they will set you up and tell you the costs.

Northern Rancher is a good one to talk to. Sounds like he has good connections with fraser's if you are getting semen there. Just a thought. If you don't have facilities he can do it at the end of a 30' rope!

I am sure optimum genetics would be a good place to call. Nica facilities , just south of Regina.

Optimum doesnt do any AI anymore, just Embyros.
