Donors
Our Embryo Program aims to accelerate the development of calves that embody our breeding objectives: longevity, moderate frame, docility, good feet, and the ability to thrive at high altitudes. We fertilize our embryos with a combination of semen from our top herd bulls and high-quality third-party bulls that align with our goals.
