Would you still AI if you had to hire it done?

[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1470343, member: 14585"] Belted semen averages about $30 and I'd suggest ordering 10 straws (5 each of 2 unrelated sires) 7 straws should = 5 pg cows = $210 semen plus $90 shipping = $300 cidrs, drugs and 7 arm services @ $30+/cow = $210 A.I. for 5 cows = $510+ per season so, Cost wise it's about a wash vs keeping a bull. A.I. advantage = mating flexibility and higher quality sires than you could otherwise afford = better genetics. Herd bull advantage is less labor. [/QUOTE]
