MOOREFIELD TWP. — A 48-year-old Moorefield Twp. woman accused of stealing more than $110,000 worth of frozen bull semen pleaded not guilty Thursday to theft and breaking and entering charges in Clark County Common Pleas Court.

Who knew bull semen was so expensive?

It's big business. You can go to a trade school and in 9 months be a certified herd inseminator and make $50-100k per year.

Or you can just claim to be mantooth and do it for free.

"It's big business. You can go to a trade school and in 9 months be a certified herd inseminator and make $50-100k per year. " really? My dad did this for several years and never came close to that income - not even close. Yeah, he probably should have demanded payment up front, but back then "a man's word was his bond" and they would promise to pay and didn't -so they calf became my dad's property. That really didn't pay our bills. My dad worked for Curtis out of Chicago (they also, at that time, owned Butterfinger and Baby Ruth candy bars). I used to go along with my dad on trips to inseminate. We ended up, even though we didn't live on a farm, showing some of the calves in 4-H. Maybe today you could make that kind of money inseminating but I doubt it. My dad worked NC Ohio: Crawford, Wynadott, Seneca, Richalnd, Marion, Delaware counties, etc...

You definitely can these days. The market is much different than it used to be. A lot of farms are solely doing this these days, with very high quality semen.

She should have swallowed, then she would have gotten away with it.

My first job in 1972 was helping collect bull semen with another worker for the Dept. of Agriculture. If you knew how difficult collection is, you would understand the high cost.

Difficult or dangerous? I've watched them collect bulls before and you could not pay me enough to hold the av.

My wife is a veterinarian who has done a good amount of Theriogenology and has worked closely with people in the field, and one of our closest friends is a board certified Theriogenologist. I would hope I would know something about it.

I would think that the bull would be pretty pleased with the handjob.
