I've got a few straws in the bank that have been there five years now. Handled twice a year by my AI company, transferring from their storage to my bank and vice versa.
Could those be considered good to use? I was planning tossing them but wouldn't mind putting a few in cows first, if the darn critters would just cycle.
I've also got a few straws left of a bull that achieved a 15% conception rate last year on my farm, it was his first collection and wasn't good. The company replaced those straws but I used seven on one day and got six returns three weeks later. What would you do with the remaining eight straws? I pay about 50c/straw a year for storage. So it's more a question of tossing them out or trying them in cows I can afford to cull.
