TexasBred":2wjel48z said:Bsr, we have brangus cattle primarily and A.I. all of them. We buy semen from Camp Cooley Ranch in Franklin, Texas and the price usually is around $40-$50 per straw is you are breeding a registered cow. For our commercial cows they will sell us the same semen for $10 per straw. You can either drive to the ranch and pick up the semen or they will ship it to you. If you do your own AI work you'll need to invest in a semen tank, a few AI supplies and pay to have your tank checked and refilled periodically.

And if you are like me, find a competent AI tech. My wife fired me last year because I was costing us more than the tech! Darn she still loves me though....
