Did I miss something? Did you get the truck to keep, or is this to have it ready? Whatever it is, it's one step closer. This is great! You will have so much fun, packing the tack room.
Just got in from riding Harley. I'm glad I got it done, looks like it may rain some more.
I can't remember who was asking about AIing a mare the other day. I forgot to mention that I asked my vet the other what it costs for the owner of stud to collect a specimen. She said there is a one time expense of buying a "boot" for the stud. Every stud should have their own, and they can be used over and over. The there is usually around $150-200 charge for the vet to do the collecting. Depends on how easy the stud does it:).
IMO, I didn't ask, but I would think the owner of a mare wouldn't pay the owner of a stud much more then just a stud fee. I never thought to ask how much a vet charges to AI a mare. I'll try to remember to ask today. Mack wants me to ask how long a specimen is good for??
