[QUOTE="rogergreaves, post: 1171787, member: 22540"] Bought the straws from a ranch in North Dakota. They were shipped from Hawkeye Breeders Service directly to the Vet. Maybe, we'll ask. Theirs used to be an all animals practice and there are five docs working there and they do have large animal facilities. However, only the owning doc and our guy actually do large animals anymore and there were no large animals present when we toured. The owner is in his 80's and is selective about what he does. Our guy used to be a cattle vet in Wyoming, sold his practice now does all animal but doesn't want to do cattle full time. If they'll do it, AI with proper facilities on our spoiled rotten Lowlines seems like a low physical risk move. They get fed cubes by hand, brushed and petted almost daily so they behave like dogs. All but one. Want to buy a Lowline Cow? One complication may be that they're in another state. I can almost throw a rock into that state from my front yard but to take a cow over that line requires a health cert and a permit. Since my destination is the vet and the office is 1/2 mile over the line the health cert may be not be that big a deal. I'll call ag and ask. [/QUOTE]
