As I was sitting in a seminar today listening to a lecturer droning on and on I started thinking of ways to make a bigger leap forward into raising really good registered stock. In my case Gelbvieh and Balancers. I thought about the option of buying embryos and putting them into my commercial cows that are known to be top mommas. I do not even know for sure what an embryo costs (private treaty), the average success rate and what it costs for a certified embryoligist to put them in. At the end of the day is this a more economical way to go instead of buying registered cows? I know the genetics would probably be better with the embyos. Better than I could afford in buying the cow. Any thoughts?
