Imagine dropping $161,000 on a bull. Yes, you read that right. Keith Higgins, a Wairarapa farmer, just did exactly that for Tangihau U418, an Angus bull that’s now happily settling into his new home. You might be wondering, "What on earth does a fancy bull have to do with my journey to parenthood?" Well, buckle up — because there’s a fascinating link between top-tier breeding in the cattle world and innovative breakthroughs in human fertility that might just surprise you.
The Bull That Broke the Bank
The news broke with a bang: a record $161k for a single Angus bull, setting new standards in livestock breeding. Tangihau U418 isn’t just any bovine — he represents the pinnacle of genetic excellence, carefully selected to pass on the best traits to future generations of cattle.
But here’s the kicker: the principles behind this high-stakes livestock breeding resonate deeply with the cutting-edge world of at-home insemination for humans. Think genetics, success rates, and accessibility — only this time, it’s about building families, not herds.
From Pastures to Parenthood: What Home Insemination Can Learn
Most of us don’t have a cool $161k lying around to invest in a bull or fertility treatments, but what if there was a cost-effective and empowering way to take control of your family-building journey from the comfort of your own home? Enter MakeAMom.

They mean that thousands of hopeful parents aren’t limited by clinic hours, hefty bills, or intimidating medical environments.
Why This Matters More Than You Think

Success Rates: Just as Keith Higgins invested to get the best bull genetics, MakeAMom reports a 67% average success rate among users. That’s a game-changer for anyone feeling the weight of uncertainty in fertility.
