[QUOTE="jt, post: 104325, member: 238"] maybe i am looking at it wrong, but i figure a newbie isnt ready to even think about AI ing... at least in my area you couldnt, because it is difficult to find someone to AI for you, and as a newbie, you not going to be able to do it yourself. schooling to learn AI is about $600, but even if you did know how to AI, the tank would cost a few hundred $ and around here it cost $180 a year to maintain one, plus the semen cost. either way, you are going to spend a good bit per head to get em bred. seems to me a newbie would need to focus on other things first instead of AI.. but that is jmo. who knows, after a year or 2 you might not even like this business.. the learning curve can be shortened by continuing to ask questions on these boards and finding someone in your area if you can to help you learn the ropes. probably not until then will you really know which direction you want to go in this business, because there are lots of different options. starting out i would tell you to buy older short mouth cows that have proved themselves. get someone experienced to help you buy them... then learn what you can, and as you go you will adapt your operation to what you want it to be. good luck jt [/QUOTE]
