[QUOTE="dun, post: 793432, member: 34"] Unless you do the sync and all that crap the cost to breed a cow runs a little over a buck above the cost of semen. Most semen from some top bulls runs in the 20-25 buck a unit range. You don't have to maintain a cleanup bull. Until a couple of year ago we did 100% AI on natural heats. Our opens ran less then 1% year. But that was only after years of selecting cows that would settle first service 90% plus. Once we started running a bull, not knowing when the cow cycled after calving I'm afraid we may have kept a few cows that had to bred multiple times each year. [/QUOTE]
