I just helped run a bunch of worn out roping heifers through the chute. They were used as recept cows for ET. The ET Wagyu calves they are now carrying will sell for $2,500 as yearlings. There was a 70% success rate on the 30 some cows we ran through. I don't know what the flush and implant cost him but he was very happy with the results. B told the vet that if he wanted more he could make a few phone calls offering $300 a head and have 1,000 of them by the time he went to bed tonight. But he is working on a deal for a bunch of open longhorn cows. They both said it was better to use cows that had already raised a calf or two. We also talked about buying cows when a very young calf at her side. That gives you a calf to sell while waiting for the Wagyu to be born and grow. One down side on this deal using Corriente is he is out 2 years before there is any income.
