      Kid should have told the mother that he was studying to be a vet. I know a fella who works three months a year (during the breeding season), and for each little slice he makes in a doe, he nets somewhere between $300-$1000. A single rich rancher can have dozens or hundreds of deer that they want to selectively breed to get bigger, more ‘prize-worthy’ bucks that can fetch a high hunting fee for folks willing to pay for it. All the feller has to do is the last step of the IVF, not even the semen collection bit, so he shows up, works for about a week at each ranch, and moves on.

      It’s mind boggling how much money he brings in.

      Can you provide me with a query that would get me this information? Because furfeak (probably misspelled but this is really outside of my knowledge realm) does not yield many relevant results

        Think they misspelled “furfreak” which is probably just a derogatory term for furries. You can Google furries at your own risk.

          I will pass, was just curious how much money could be made. I know some comic artists on reddit basically make their living based on that.

        I’ve seen people asking for up to $500 for a commission. It was a pretty intricate commission, but they obviously get it. The ones that I just can’t believe are the very obvious character drawn naked, and then some clothes are added on top. Then a streamer style bullshit goes on where after they get X amount of money, a piece of clothing is removed. I’ve seen people, in an aggregate, toss thousands at those. Boggles my mind.
