[QUOTE="la4angus, post: 20272, member: 132"] The cost of eggs can vary from + or - $300. to well over $500.00 with not many selling over $500.00. The 65% success rate is a pretty good success rate; depending on the experience of the experience of the tech. doing the implanting and if the eggs are going to be implanted fresh or frozen. At a 65% success rate and $500.00 eggs you are looking at $1000.00 calves hitting the ground before any other expenses are taken into consideration. In my mind there are very few eggs worth that price for many established breeders. Do not get me wrong; I do not have any eggs to sell and also would not encourage a person to go this route in establishing a cowherd. There are to many weaned hfr. calves and yearlings out there that can be bought for a lot less than what you will be looking at by the time these heifers that you keep will be ready to breed. By the time that these heifers that you would keep for cows are ready to breed, heifers that you would buy could be calving or have calves ready to sell. I also do not have any heifers or calves or any female breeding stock to sell. I can be eMailed through this board. [/QUOTE]
