Hello everyone been a couple years since I've been around here!
I have recently been talking with a company about becoming a part time AI breeder and they asked how much I would need to get paid to come work for them but I have no idea what a fair pay would be.
So it would start out as just breeding 1 farm for now as they are trying to build up a customer base in the area to hire a full-time breeder but they don't have the customers yet for that. It's a farm milking 300 cows with robots and there would be no heat detection with the cows I'd just be breeding off of the collars. However they keep their heifers at another location about 20 minutes away and they would require heat detection. The company would like to pay me a set price for each farm that I end up breeding at and the pay per farm would depend on the number of cows
Now I have taken a AI course and done a small amount of breeding but it's been about 4 or 5 years since I've bred anything but they will bring me on to a farm that they already breed at for a couple weeks to get me back in the loop before I go to the new farm
So with all that being said what do you guys think would be a fair wage to ask for this breeding job? (They would also pay my mileage for getting there)
