Check Follicles:
To more accurately estimate your mare’s estrus, or to know when to order semen, you must first know how far along she is. We can measure follicles or check for pregnancy with our Ultrasound equipment. With shipped cooled semen now in wide use throughout the Quarter Horse industry, it’s easy to have your mares bred to stallions of your choosing that are located almost anywhere in the world. Let us manage your mare, order the semen when ready and inseminate her for you.
Breeding:
Our primary method of breeding is by Artificial Insemination (A.I.). The practice of A.I. increases the chances of getting a mare pregnant, and reduces the risk to the mare and stallion in the collection/breeding process. The semen is collected in an A.V. from a breeding dummy. The semen is then either prepared and cooled for shipping, or used to artificially inseminate a mare.
