[QUOTE="hopalong, post: 837124, member: 3320"] Doing it your self is rewarding, but also expensive, do you have your own tank? Be prepared for the first few attempts to fail! Expensive semen down the drain (so to speak) I got back into doing A.I. work after many years of being out of it because of a need to use a bull on some purebred cows and didn't want to buy a bull for just a few of them! I contacted a Jr college and found out they has an A.I. class one day a week for a semester, I never enjoyed a class as much as I did this one. Long story short, I bred my pure bred cows to a high dollar bull and hit 50% (better than nothing) I spent $$$ getting the stuff I needed just for me. I was talking to a friend one day in Home Depot and was overheard by a 4 Hr who needed a cow bred, bingo, I discovered an untapped source of income. Word of mouth, few flyers in feed stores, and a few ads in C.L. There are lots of people out there(at least in my area) that have one or two cows but no way to get them bred, currently I am averaging about 2 a week with many being a 10 day cidr sync. which keeps me busy and supplies me with spending money (I'm retired that helps) and the 4 Hrs love it because I let them be involved with the whole process. Biggest thing is I ENJOY IT. [/QUOTE]
