[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 745993, member: 7398"] For me, the main cost is time and handling equipment. Whether you sync or not, heat detection is important then sorting and working cattle to get the one you want to breed all takes being there. Without good handling equipment the continual running through the chute - is also very time consuming and dangerous. We upgraded our handling equipment quite a bit when we shifted to AI - cost $4000. That said, if you actually have the time and really enjoy that - then time is of little consequence and can actually be cheap fun. If it were me and I didn't need a spread of genetics for bull production, I would buy a really good bull every couple of years. Which gets back to the point of why you want to AI and how much time you have. [/QUOTE]
