New Mexico | pick up the phone....call a breeder in another country and have them put some embryos in a shipper and send em.
AU especially has tons of breed selections and plenty of smaller seedstock operations of almost EVERY breed.
One of the links I posted for Chad, he could do exactly the afore.
Interestingly on embryos....the cheaper ones are better cattle.
Reason is some cattle flush, some REALLY flush, and some do not.
Has to do with disposition thus maternal ability of the donor cow.
The ones that really flush are more maternal and ussually gentle too.
All those have "THEE LOOK" and drop tons of eggs every trip thru.
Only takes a couple drops in the high 20's to low 40's and those breeders end up with say 50 frozens...don't need em cause they transferred say 20 grade 2's to recip cows at flush too.
ALL Costs on flush days are the same total amount, thus costs alot per to freeze one embryo but not much per to freeze 100 embryos.
Keep in mind, you can generally buy 10 frozen grade 1's for say $3,000 to $4,000, or buy say 20 to 25 for $3,500 to $5,000.
