[QUOTE="kjonesel, post: 899439, member: 16842"] Cattleman200 thanks for the response. What we have is the start of a small fullblood Gelbvieh herd. We also have 7 cows that will be having their second and third calves. A fullblood breeder near us is wanting to flush one of his top cows but he would not have near enough recipients animals that he would be able to divert to this effort. It would provide me with the opportunity to have possibly seven of the breeds top calves next year. I would purchase additional embryos to have on hand in the event the flush failed which would make the cost increase but I feel that it would be necessary and I could always find some additional animals to use them in. I am in the process now of contacting an embryologist to obtain a better understanding of what would be a reasonable success rate and to know what to expect on cost. [/QUOTE]
