ok, i dont want to sound ignorant here but i was talking to someone in the classifieds about recips. I've heard of people that use other people's recips for their embryos. I was wanting to know how that works. I happen to have embyos that my son won (good quality) but no recips.
well, i was given an example and it really didn't make much sense to me:
the person that furnishes the embyos, pays all the prep and vet bills including shots to have the embyos placed.
the ower of the cow pays for creep feed till calf is picked up and shots for calf.
the calf owner then pays $800 for the calf if a bull and $1200 if it's a heifer at time of pick up.
now to me, this seems crazy since the calf in a way already belongs to you.... you can buy darn nice recips for 1k or 1300.
maybe there is something that im not understanding.
