i am wondering if there is a place where i can take my cow, get her flushed, have the eggs put in, and then come back the next year and pick up the weaned calves?

other conditions....it must be a place where my cow will be treated like a queen.....(quit laughing!!!  im serious!!!)....and her babies will receive the best care.....

I'd say Cowboy's but you are a little far. He's in NE & you're in WV.

i do think they exist.  many of the ET Facilities offer a cooperator herd option and have the ability to take your cow, line up the flush, transfer of eggs, calving and care until weaning.  Might cost you $1000 per live animal born + flush expenses, but it is an option.  I know Westwood Embryo in IA offers that service, but I don't know the exact cost.

have the ET tech come to your place. it's quite common in dairy areas.  not sure about beef.  the cost of day care just for the donor at probably $5/day minimum might add up a little to the tune of 1825 dollars for a year.  then add in feeding the recips.  those calves better be dang good to cover that.
