[QUOTE="Rahe Family Belties, post: 911670, member: 18193"] I have considered some ET in my herd but haven't pulled the string on it. For my area in Illinois- Flush cost on your cow is about $1000 if done on your farm. That is flushing and freezing combined. If you buy quality embryos for $300-500 per embryo with no guarantee they will produce a live calf. I'm told you get about 1/3 stick. Recip cost will be in the $1000 neighborhood for a live calf at weaning. With this you have about $1500-2000 in every weaned live calf.(Half are bulls unless sexed semen/embryos are used.) I can find you good quality heifers for that kind of money. Just something to consider. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
