[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 564627, member: 539"] Personally, there is no way on this earth I would put up with a bull for 5 head of cows. As far as the expense of having someone AI them goes - google it, check the yellow pages, call the larger universities that have an AI program in your area and talk to them, call every place in your area that does AI and talk to them. That is the only way you will ever know the cost for sure. That couple of thousand up front for a bull will cover a lot of AI related expenses, add the fact that you will have better calves by going with AI'ing because you can hand pick a bull to match the strengths of your cows/improve their weaknesses, then factor in the cost of feed, fence repairs, and having to deal with that bull on a day to day basis for the other 11 months of the year, and it looks like a no-brainer to me.
