[QUOTE="triple'S', post: 324692, member: 2934"] I'm going to put a pencil to this AI deal. what would be a good figure for cost of A.I. / cow. Figure $15 per straw and then what for a A.I. tech, synchronizing, heat detection? I intend on learning how to AI but for now I need a figure for someone doing the whole thing, like Genex's "chute-side" service. Then I need an average conception rate for AI done by a certified tech. I was going to figure this against what it cost me to keep bulls all year. I think if I went AI i could go down to 1 bull(depending on AI conception rate) and run him as cleanup. Then, I might could figure in a little added value for the calves I market as replacements but i don't expect much of a change in the calves I take to local auction. I could also figure into it that I could possible retain better heifers for myself but I don't know how to figure that. Just things I'm running through my head so if you can help Price of AI/cow? Avg. Conception? Thanks [/QUOTE]
