[QUOTE="Engler, post: 531028, member: 4110"] $1,200 for the pair of that age may be a little high with the cows having that much age and being a little small, but with you shooting for a niche market and this being a good fit, probably not to far out of line. You don't have to have a vet to cut and AI, heck I'm a banker and I can do it. BUT with having limited experience and knowledge I would sugjest that you do have a vet do it. That way when the wheels fall off, and they will at some point, you have a relationship established with the vet. You're going to get a lot better service. On the flip side if there are no good vets and there are some dairy people around then maybe you can hire them do your more basic work. Besides that I think that most good dairy farmers are better cow vets than 90% of the DVMs in practice, but they can't get some of the really good drugs as easily. Don't be too proud to ask questions and for help. Talk to the feed dealer, vet, dairy farmers, other cattlemen, heck even pig, sheep and goat people, they all have something to offer in terms of knowledge and experience. Maybe join the local cattlemans ass. or similar org. Most everone will answer questions if asked by someone who wants to learn. [/QUOTE]
