[QUOTE="Engler, post: 920225, member: 4110"] While AI is not as good as a bull (usually) you can get the cows bred to a really good bull for $50/head, including set up and paying the tech. If your bull is depreciating by $500/year plus the cost of feed it gets really close to a break even for much higher quality genetics. Also this way you're not bringing in any new stock (diseases) and it's probably easier to find an AI sire to sample than what it will be to try to find either pure or percentage Wagyu females. If the calves are a crash and burn, you can eat them all and not be out much. There are some on this board that are either 100% AI or close to it and they have great luck, or at least good enough luck to stay in business. I have some customers of mine that every year breed a handful of heifers Wagyu and have had good luck. Calves have won the county fair carcass contest and they love putting them in the freezer.
