[QUOTE="Grass-Fed, post: 984572, member: 17207"] Hello, You asked if someone local to you knew anyone who may be able to help you. My father lives in Vinemont and used a vet by the name of Dr Lee in Cullman. I assume Dr Lee does A.I. Given your limited space and low number of cows A.I. may be a way to go for you. Even if the best bull money could buy was only $1400 a bull is almost worthless after 6 years($233 per year), you would be forced to sell all his helfer calves so he would not breed them. If he is a good bull then his offspring would be better and younger then your current cows so the only way to keep his helfers is to trade in your bull after only 2 years($700) per year. Lets not even go into how much it will cost you to feed him. I dont know what local AI costs but even if its $500 per year to cover your 10 cows, you can recover some if not all in saved bull feed. Just my 2 cents, Jason [/QUOTE]
