Yes that's in addition to the stud fee. I handle all those costs; contact the semen storage facility and give them my credit card number to pay their fees and shipping fees. The only thing the stud owner does is sign a release at the storage facility after receiving stud fee or service fee from me. Of course I cover the AI procedure and progesterone tests too. So about $2000 invested in the breeding and you hope it takes, or it's $2000 down the toilet. And invest in surgical AI for frozen semen- better success rate because of the quality and life span of frozen semen.
