Minnesota Thieves Steal $70,000 Worth Of Bull Semen
A farmer in Leroy, Minnesota, is probably having a cow after some ballsy thieves stole $70,000 worth of bull semen.
Here's the gist: a frozen canister about the size of a milk jug was stolen from an unlocked barn belonging to Daniel Weness sometime last week.
The canister contained a bunch of vials of bull semen valued between $300 to $1500 each, KAAL TV reports.
The canister was worth $500 by itself, according to the Associated Press.
Weness isn't sure which day the load was stolen, but said the only time he and his hired hand were away from the farm was on Easter Sunday, according to KTTC.com.
Mark May, chief deputy of the Mower County Sheriff's Office, says animal semen can be big business -- no bull.
"There is a market for this, a lot of people bid on it or purchase it instead of transporting their animals to and from site," he told Valley News Live. "They can purchase this vial of bull semen and inseminate their cow and I guess it's just a more reliable way to do it."
So far, there are no suspects.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Of course, I am probably the only person on this board who has visited the Bull Semen Hall of Fame (near Columbus, Ohio).
 
$70,000 for a jug of bull semen, and I couldn't give mine away for years as a teenager and young adult.

I have a friend who raises cattle. He's mentioned before how high tech it is becoming to select a good batch of semen. It's amazing at how much info they can get on the donor bull before ordering. All the growth projections and weight characteristics it's offspring should provide.

Safe bet. Just out of curiosity why did you choose to visit?
 
He got confused thought he was visiting me. We have a fluid relationship if you know what I mean.

I don't know about the rest of you, but the term "jug of bull semen" makes me nauseous.

The family that rents my parents' ground are pretty well known across the country for the quality of their dairy herd, and the amount of money people are willing to pay when one of their best producing cows has embryos flushed is pretty insane. But, if it leads to a cow that can produce 5-10 extra pounds of milk per day, then I guess it's worth it.
