[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1307358, member: 21715"] I've never purchased a pregnancy, but I've sold some. The buyer is buying a recip cow confirmed bred; sometimes the pregnancy is sexed (i.e., you know you're getting a heifer or bull, per either the embryo used (if sorted/reverse-sorted semen was used) and/or ultrasound check ... but sometimes it's not. Once the buyer buys the pregnancy, the buyer pays for the recipient cow. Depending on the situation and the terms of the deal, some times the buyer takes possession of the recip to calve out the calf or the seller retains the recip (until weaning, at which time that animal is the buyers) and has the responsibility for calving out the calf. I've done both sorts of deals. Sometimes you can "rent a uterus" and put your embryo in someone else's cow and then you pay them for any/all live calves born and weaned. I've never done a deal like that. [/QUOTE]
