When you buy a horses sperm who pays the veterinary ?

Question

for the collection of the sperm? the owner of the stallion or the buyer?

What other fees do the buyers usually have to pay?

Answer 1

the collection of sprem is usually done by the owner and is generally included in the stud fee. AI fees maybe slightly more expensive because they need to use a phamtom, collectors, etc. Buyers will have to pay the stud/AI fee, shipping, and the vet bill for your mare. Typical with an AI you get 2 chances. If the mare does not take after 2 AI's then you must pay for another AI/stud fee, shipping, and vet bill. You may also, for certain breeds, need to fill out some paperwork comfirming you paid, and the mare took/didn't take and pay for the postal and paperwork (generally rare breeds only)
