[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 282041, member: 1683"] Yes - - that is (1) ONE (1) count 'em ONE cow! If he can flush ONLY 10 :shock: viable eggs from that cow over a period of a YEAR(!) :roll: and with judicial sire selection to match her quality - he should have her $57,500 cost recovered and be home free -in spades - within 3 years, and have her next two years production in recipients in the wings waiting patiently to enhance her value even further. DO THE MATH! Figure an average of only 5 eggs per flush x only 3 flushes per YEAR x 5 years x $3000 peer calf = $225,000! :shock: :shock: Hello! Then add the value of two or three live calves born naturally - either sold (?$) or kept as replacements - and then add the additional value of either live calves or additional flushes and you have - - - well, - - you get the idea! These are pretty conservative figures that I posted for your perusal - given the average that the quality animals from Baldridge sale brought - $16,000 per head. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
