[QUOTE="Redgully, post: 1616618, member: 33533"] Its not very expensive if you have an A.I. tech close by. A straw will cost you $10-$30. You can pick old bulls up from semex for $8. Work on 1.5 straws a cow for misses. Now if you have a tech close by, maybe a proffesional, vet or farmer who does his own, they usually charge $10 to $50 a cow. If you are good at heat detection then can do each one as they come in. If you are not interested in heat detection can run a hormone program and do timed A.I. all at the same time. A hormone program will cost you anywhere from $25 to $100 a cow depending on how much you can do yourself. You will need to put cidrs in, do injections and remove cidrs, if you can do all that at the times the tech says then will save money on them traveling to do it. Cidrs are roughly $15 each but i use them twice. Injections are about $5 a shot and you may need two, i used one, shot per cow. I am a really small producer so for me i just heat detect and don't do any of the hormone stuff so just costs me the price of the straw and i feel i get a better take. For you it is going to come down to how close an A.I. guy is. [/QUOTE]
