Flushing
We handle all setup and protocols leading up to flush day and get donors collected on site. Embryos can then be frozen or transferred fresh.
We currently do not flush donors ourselves but work with several veterinarians who do offer these services.
Extended Stay / Breeding
Many producers will have their donor cows flushed 1-2 times and are then ready to get her AI bred. We offer extended stay of donor cows and will get her bred with a 60-day confirmed pregnancy.
90-day Recip Program
Ready to get your new embryos transferred to recips? Or, do you have frozen recips on hand but now cows to put them in?
We offer a recip program where we will transfer the embryo into one of our recipient cows and send you home with a confirmed pregnant and fetal sexed cow.
