[husker1]

Of course the old boy is now deceased....Anyone know of any semen moving?  If so, what kind of prices?

Thanks for any help.

Day he died it shot up to $100 a straw

That's what I'd heard....is ABS still marketing it at that?

it is at $100 like previously said, i had heard from a decent source that  he was throwing some choice semen, this is below ABS's high quality standard of semen, but is still higher quality than industry standards, should work for AI but should be cautious with flushing  :-\
so if you buy some of it, make sure its the higher quality stuff if you are going to flush with it.

The bull is not "throwing some choice semen", he's dead.

I'm all for high semen collection standards, but ABS has snowballed the industry on the flush quality semen.  If it's good enough to freeze- it will work very well in a flush situation.  One of the main problems is the idea that every time there's UFO's its because of bad semen.  Not true.

@husker1: As far as I know they are.

ABS has 3 criteria for grading semen quality that they sell : Prime, Choice and Choice +, Prime is the highest quality, Choice is BELOW Prime so it is lower quality, however like i stated before it still meets the standards of the industry.
I bought 20 units of Dream on last fall and all that i could get was Choice; so the bull WAS (past tense- duh, that he is dead) throwing choice semen that is less quality than Prime.
When using expensive semen to flush, i guess quality matters to me.

Steppingstone has it for $90.00, I do not know what grade it is.

Pine Ridge is selling some Dream On semen in their dispersal sale this month.  May be worth placing a phone bid if you can't make it to Georgia.
