    Hi, I have a young cow that had lepto and was treated. However I suspect she still has it as she won't stay in calf after numerous rounds of AI. AI tech says she feels sound inside. Would an egg donation be an option and if so what might it cost as I don't really want to ship her off?
    Thanks in advance

    Starting to get late now to be thinking about that as we are well into the breeding season now.
    Cull cow prices are mad dear at the mo, demand is coming from the continent where beef cow numbers are back. Use the opportunity to get rid of her and any other stragglers you have.
    I got 1000yoyos a 17 year old cow a few weeks back, other years you`d be lucky to get half that

    Get rid....she will only cost you money without any guarantee of getting anything out of her.
    The Cuban is correct about cull cows being worth a lot at the moment. I brought a fairly thin, miserable one to mart on Thursday almost afraid of what I might get for her, but came away with E750, which I intend to put towards something that will actually make me a few quid.

    I had a very well bred heifer that got lepto and vet advised she be factoried! Never would be suitable for breeding again he told me ! I often question would I have got a calf from her if I kept her
