Hi,
Yes it would be with those assumptions so thank you for the info on responsibility.
So now I have to consider likelihood of success. What is the likely chance of success?
Also, does anyone know how much is the going rate for rare breed straws of a good quality buck?
There is not much of a "going" rate - it depend son who owns thwe straws, how many there are (and how many people have some), how easy it is for you to get them and store them etc etc...
Chance of success.... lap AI good if done by an experienced vet (experienced in sheep lap AI that is and knows how to handle goats), depends on quality of the straw (esp how it has been stored)....
What rare breed are you looking at? And who is going to do it for you?
I have done laprascopic AI successfully for the last 7 years, using AB Europe in Edinburgh.
