| Yes, sexed semen was the last nail in the coffin for the small dairy farm in WI. probably nationwide, small farms could raise all their heifers and sell the extras to the big dairies who could only get 1-1/2 lactations out of their cows for $1500-2000 in the early 2000's, most cases it was enough money for the family to almost live on for the year and the milk check kept the farm bills paid. | |
