Breeding Information

           Bill has 6 years experience on the farm in Equine Reproduction. He completed courses in Equine Reproductive Management and Artificial Insemination at Colorado State University and in Advanced Equine Reproductive Management & Ultrasonography at Texas A&M University.

        We feed oats or 14% Hi-Pro horse feed and alfalfa twice daily, depending on your horse's needs. We have individual turnouts for outside mares and foals to insure their safety. We also have a covered area in the barn, that we use during  bad weather, to make sure the mares and foals get out for a few hours and play.  Our utmost goal is to get your mare in foal while keeping them healthy and happy.

        We ultrasound all mares every other day to ensure she is building "breedable" follicles, and breed every other day until the mare has ovulated.   We have a 95% conception rate on site! We collect every other day, and evaluate the semen on every collection. Using our reproductive lab on site, we perform a semen count, check for motility and viability with each collection.  This way we know how many mares we can breed on the ranch and how many we are able to ship to. We handle the mares and stallions ourselves because we want to be sure things are done right. We treat your mare and foal like they are ours.   We learned a lesson about our mares being bred the hard way after seeing how ours were taken care of off our ranch while getting bred.    It doesn't take any more effort to do it right.
