I am not really that familiar with how stallion fees work...but my understanding is that there is no $$ if there is no foal. It's why a mare must show up at the shed with all of her vet work in order and documented...and if she doesn't get in foal on the first couple of covers she has to have more cultures done to determine uterine health etc...
