We recently purchase a mare that was successful on the track in her days and has been an excellent producer, including multiple AAA/1D offspring.
We are going to pull an embryo or two off of her in the Spring, but we are kind of on the fence of how much to sell them for. We are pretty new to the embryo process, so any and all insight will be helpful.
The mare's name is Special Martha. She is an own daughter of Marthas Six Moons and is out of a AA daughter of Special Effort. The mare is AA on the track, Graded Stakes placed, with earnings of $6,158.

Line up a buyer and negotiate on the price before you pull the embryos. Whatever the buyer is willing to pay is what it is worth. It may be worth more to one person than another.

I vet a lot of embryo offers for different breeders. All I can say is have all the mare's records available with details--race records for her and her offspring, her dam. Equi-Stat records, etc...Makes the process go a whole lot faster.
