[QUOTE="Dusty, post: 798193, member: 4585"] It is high priced for you guys.. I flush between 3-5 cows at a time, $350 a flush and then $200 to freeze all embryo's. Last flush 5 cows, 1 freeze, 15 straws of semen = $2350 and I got 63 embryo's .... so $37.35 an embryo as i figure it.. I flush to cattle that I think can improve area's in my herd.... More performance, better calving ease, more milk, and then on marketability only top 3% of herd get flushed... Have a list of over 60 people who ask for bi-monthly embryo list and I do take orders for embyro's by cows but the bulls used are always bulls that work in my program first .... I figure at $350 and embryo, (which customers think is very very reasonable) I am still making about 10x what I have in them.... Publicly I have sold them for over $1050 a piece... one cow is averaging about $700 on over 35 embryo's sold... [/QUOTE]
