[QUOTE="JustSimmental, post: 846012, member: 14624"] My experience has been good over the years. Here again, you need better than average health and nutrition for you recips and/donor if a fresh to fresh application is used. On fresh to fresh the ET kit will run you about $300, which will flush a Donor and transfer 10 recips. The problem there is that seldom do we have a Donor that produces 10 viable embryos per flush, but it has happened but is not the norm. Frozen embryos are easy to implant --if you can AI you can implant a frozen embryo. Since, we dont always know the care or lack there of that the embryos were produced, this game can be frustrating as well. Like was said earlier --you have to try and see what your successes are. I still think --for the money--- purchasing a few good PB cows annually is the best way to go. The problem that I ran into when i first started with PB simmental was that there just wasn't any good ones around. It is still pretty bad. [/QUOTE]
