[QUOTE="Aero, post: 521894, member: 2076"] Assume you end up with $200 per embryo. If you get 50% live calf birth (transfer without freezing should be in the 60-65% range, 50-55% with frozen) you will have $400/per calf in breeding costs above what you normally have plus the extra cost of development for bulls (assuming you would keep the commercial females anyway). Assuming you arent going to sell them at the sale barn, you are effectively putting your cows on "Pause" for a year with no income due to development time. There is also the chance that you will get no viable embryos and still have to pay the $400 or so. [/QUOTE]
