[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1504653, member: 21626"] Good morning all, It has been a very long time since I have posted, but I am currently working on a research project for my senior year at college. This question is directed towards ranch operations that are in more remote areas. Around us, if we have a cow in heat, we can call a breeder and he will be there 12 hours later and the bill is less than $20 plus cost of semen. What I am wondering is, if you were to do A.I. (whether you do it currently or not) how many head would you have to have lined up for a breeder to come out, and how many would he have to breed to get the average cost of breeding down to around or below $20/head? The phrasing of my question is based on the idea that they charge a certain fee to come out, and then each subsequent cow/heifer is at a reduced rate. For us, I believe this year the first animal fee is $19 and then each animal after that is $6, but my AI tech lives about 6 miles from us. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
