Yes, that is true, they do jack up the prices. That is the downside.
I used to train & show horses and it wasn't uncommon with artificial insemination for breeders to stud them out...artificial inseminate, 100 times/mares. Some go way more than that, but it just waters down the stock, IMO.
Another reason they retire them so fast once they make the big time, stud fees are far bigger than any winnings they can accumulate.

Thats big around here with cows and livestock as well. Stud and straw fees can get stupid.

Damn Bova, you should have hit me up. I’d hook you up with a bunch of good samples. Possibly some good bottles you might have a hard time getting ahold of. BT distillery is awesome. One of my favorites for sure.
