What are you calling cheap, and how much do they charge to impregnate? I am planning on getting one of my males done, and talked to them at VA TECH they said:
$350 to collect the 1st time,
$150 the 2nd time if it was the same day as the 1st
(which would be 2 or 3 straws of frozen pellets per collection)
$120 to store it for a year
$800-$1000 to impregnate
(impregnate a dog took 2 or 3 straws)
I talked to Dr. Purswell in the Reprocuction Dept.
I thought my gosh, seems a little steep for the impregnation, but what do I know, maybe I should shop around a little.
Seems to me that a you could get a few more straws per collection, which could be a bit cheaper and a impregnation could be a heck of a lot less, again maybe I need to shop around some place other than where I did.
Hope it is cheaper where you guys are.
I live 20 minutes from VA Tech and I will not use them......to steep. I can drive to Nevergone, get my male collected and still save money. To get a dog collected at Nevergone, you are looking at $200 the first time, that includes the $25 a year to store. $175 a collection after that. Based on your male, you should get 5 or more straws a collection. I got 6 straws each time. I'm not sure what it is to AI a female but I guarantee you it won't be near what Tech will charge.
Dean is by far the most reasonable and I've never talked to a dissatisfied customer. JMO
