[QUOTE="simme, post: 1639794, member: 40418"] Most embryos produced with sexed semen are going to be female. With non-sexed, you will average 50% bull calves. How many cleanup bulls do you need and how many embryos will be required to produce those bulls? Not all will result in a calf. How many of the bull calves born will be good enough quality for a cleanup herd bull? How much are you expecting to pay for these embryos? Good genetics cost more and then are still hit and miss on producing a herd bull quality animal and there is cost to develop to breeding age. My opinion - look at purchasing your cleanup bulls from a reputable breeder where you can select based on individual performance/phenotype. [/QUOTE]
