    Well folks
    I’ve purchased a good lot of embryos over the last few months . Was thinking of buying 10/15 heifers and putting them in . Would ya be mental in the current climate with brexit etc or would ya go ahead and put them in .
    Cheers

    Pure cracked imo. But it’ll be a couple of years before you’ll be cashing them in and you’d hope things will be improved by then.

    Put them in. By the time they're cooked, beef will be doing a roaring trade again.

    Why did you buy them if not to use them?

    Bought most of them over the last year or two some lads say stay well away with beef at the moment . Working in Dublin so will need help with cattle as I’m living in Westmeath . And not sure if limousin are as big as they were . Just a gamble I suppose

    That’s it aswel will certain breeding have its sell by date ? Not sure if that is correct but they cost of actually getting recipients and starting would be if doing only 10 recipients would be 12k when you dose and pay for transfers and everything else . Would want to be getting your money back or it would break ya .

    Are these Limousin embryos, can you say what breeding they are and how much they cost you?
