AI Tank

[David2440]

New to AI . Only breeding around 6 cows. What would be a good small tank to keep semen in?

Welcome to the board!
In your shoes I wouldn't mess with a tank. I'd buy ten units from a breeder and have them synced and bred once and then heat detect in twenty one days and try to clean up anything that you missed and cull anything that doesn't after that and give a unit or two to the breeder. You're looking at spending dollars chasing pennies otherwise.

Sorry I should have said I will be doing the AI. So would like some stored on site. Will not be using vet next spring who always kept the semen for us. Just wondering about a small tank.

A small tank will have a shorter hold/working time. Unless you have ln2 real convenient, I would look at holding time verses physical size

Accelerated Genetics has nice tanks for sale in the spring. The ad should be in their 2017 catalog when it comes out. MVE Millennium XC 20 for $510. The tank was recommended by my A.I. guy.
