[QUOTE="Ysgythan, post: 6434454, member: 8724"] To flush your own ewe costs about £400, but that’s not where the main costs are. Recipients - fine if you have some, but finding MV ones if you need them can be tricky. Service - some charge upwards of £200 per donor to have the tup available for fresh semen. Frozen semen can be £40 plus VAT per straw and you may need 4 for every donor. Hold rate - if you get a rubbish result the Vet may do a deal. However, if not the costs are split over the embryos you implant. Anything over a hold rate of 70% is a bonus. So valuing embryos to buy is tricky. The best way I think if you want somebody else’s genetics is to do a contract flush, where you split all the costs and the embryos equally. What people don’t think about is an odd number of embryos, and doing the split after sweeping or even after scanning. Whatever you agree write it down as I’ve heard some horror stories about after the event skullduggery. :wideyed: [/QUOTE]
