[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1210392, member: 18809"] Got a friend who just got done having his cow "flushed" using IVF. His cow was 70 days bred. He paid board and $190 an embryo that froze. They harvested over 30 eggs, and 18 made to the freezing stage. He only paid for the ones that froze. He did not pay for recips, since he froze them. His total expense was the board on the cow, his semen, and the $190 an egg. Oh, and he found out his cow was carryin a bull..... Since they use ultrasound. Seems pretty simple to me, and cheaper than the conventional way. Plus, much quicker since you do not have to set the donor up with drugs and wait. They load her in the chute, aspirate the ovary, and she is done. At least, that is what he told me. Now what I want to know is the conception rate on those embryos. Watching the sales going on, the heifer sexed IVF embryos go for a ton more money, and they still guarantee one pregnancy if you purchase three. [/QUOTE]
