[QUOTE="6M Ranch, post: 152159, member: 2324"] My two cents. Cost isn't expensive. More work, but cost shouldn't be a factor. If you synchronize, shots + CIDR for example, will run about $10/hd. AI tech charges $50 for each trip out + semen + $10/hd. For example, if 10 head come in the same day, your total costs would be $25/hd. + semen. Semen can run from $8 up over $1000. The semen we use runs from $30 to $90 typically. We average 80% on the first try. If you only calve one season, a bull will only service 30 - 50 cows. Then if you buy a new bull every two years, the costs could be cheaper by AI'ing. Theoretically better calves, should return a lot more on your investment. [/QUOTE]
