[QUOTE="CWT Angus, post: 324711, member: 1509"] Triple S- I use Genex & here's a rundown of what I spend. Keep in mind that the conception rate depends heavily on you as you are required to do the heat detection. AI is definitely more time consuming, but if you can spare a few days during breeding season to devote to getting your cows bred, the rewards are great. My guy charges me $10 for each CIDR & $2.50 for the shot of GNRH plus a $40 trip fee. I buy the Lutalyse from him for around $30 and pull the CIDR & give the shot myself in 7 days. The semen will run you from $12 to $150 per straw, you can get great semen for around $20-$25 no need to spend at the high end. He will then charge you a fee to actually inseminate each cow, $35 for the 1st one, $17.50 for the 2nd, & about $5 for each cow thereafter. Fees may be a bit different in your area- but should be close since they are the same company. Having 1 cleanup bull would be perfect, depending on how many cows you run. If you haven't already give your Genex rep a call- I can't say enough good things about mine. They are full of information. The time commitment will pay of on Thursday when I have a group of cows due on the same day. Makes calving season much less stressful & much shorter. Hope this info helps. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
