Bull sperm is a valuable commodity. One container can be worth more than $100,000!

A related story:
COUDERSPORT, Pa. — Police in north-central Pennsylvania say they’ve solved the case of the missing bull semen.
Authorities in Sweden Township, near Coudersport, say a package containing 1,770 units of the valuable agricultural product was reported missing from a residence where it was to be delivered on April 2.
Police now tell the Bradford Era newspaper that it was never stolen. Rather, a UPS driver left the package at the home and then returned to retrieve it after realizing it shouldn’t have been delivered without someone signing for it.
Township police Chief Bryan Phelps says the package was in a UPS warehouse and has since been delivered.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- A Clark County woman accused of stealing more than $100,000 worth of bull sperm appeared in court on Tuesday.
Karen Saum pleaded not guilty to theft charges. Detectives said a tip led them to the stolen semen inside her garage.
According to police, the bull sperm was from Saum's former employer, Genetic Connection.

Many breeds of horses and cattle can be artificially bred but thoroughbred races horses must breed the old fashioned way. Cuts down on blood line fraud. This stuff is kind of funny to city slickers but it is big business out on the farm.
