[QUOTE="bse, post: 1185694, member: 13989"] AI can help you in any situation. Seedstock hopefully you are improving with every breeding. Commercial what is it worth to calf half your herd in the first week? With 100 head if you only get industry standard 50% thats 50 calves that should grow better and wean bigger, so the first 50 are 50lbs heavier, yesterday 6wts $2.43 so thats $121.50 extra for the first 50,if yor percentage is higher just a bonus. Now that 100 will cost you about $5000 to AI, the extra on the first 50 is $6075 so youve made $1075 extra by doing AI and thats at average numbers. The $50 per head for AI is $30 to sync and breed, $20 for semen. Your next round of calves should come around 21 days after if you can get a big percentage of those your way ahead. A bull can get all this done but maybe not so many in the front, you can cut the price of a bull also if you were using 3 for the 100hd you can drop to 2 bulls easily for more savings. All depends on number of head and how it may pencil out. [/QUOTE]
