[QUOTE="C HOLLAND, post: 152450, member: 2200"] There are a lot of good points so far. If you only have 25 cows to breed each year and only use one bull then it may be as cheap as AI, but if you plan to expand and keep some heifers each year, what do you breed them to (ANOTHER BULL) you surely cant breed them back to that same bull. So did you add the cost of 2 bulls. And one other small point, I am looking at select sires price sheet on semen for Angus Bulls (RITO 6I6, GAR EXPECTATION, GAR NEW DESIGN etc) all of these are top notch bulls and the semen only cost 18-20 per straw and the certs 20-35 each, if you are talking a commercial operation you dont need certs. I also think if you plan to AI only then you should learn how and save some of the cost. [/QUOTE]
