If you count the cost of shipping the semen from where ever it is stored to your vet in PA, the cost adds up pretty quickly. Shipping frozen semen is VERY expensive. The dewart that is used to ship is large, heavy and contains a hazardous material....
If Dean Bitzel has Bone semen at his facility, you can drive to Wabash and back home to PA cheaper than you can ship the semen. Additionally most of the vets that I've seen want about 1000 to inseminate a female. Dean's charge is about 200, plus the progesterone test.
Just something to think about..... convenience in this instance is VERY expensive.
Oh yea !! Believe me I have my own Vacuum Shipper and I do loan it out .. But you can have a easy $250 round trip on my tank. Its Very Expansive unless you plan ahead and have the Semen stored close to your vet .
