Family Owned Animal Focused
Donor Management
When it comes to utilizing IVF, Conventional Flush, A.I. or E.T., nutrition and environment are crucial factors. Providing cows with high-quality nutrition is essential for them to perform at their very best. A healthy diet plays a vital role in the quality of results you will see when utilizing our services. Our program focuses on providing cows with the best nutrition instead of using hormone treatments, which ensures the longevity of your cows and heifers.
A healthy environment also has a significant impact on the results of the services provided. Our cows are not kept locked up in pens; they are turned out into large paddocks for rest and relaxation. We take extra steps to ensure that our elderly donors or “push-over” cows are kept with like-minded pen-mates so that no one gets pushed around or beaten up.
Wean Calf Program
What is a “Weaned Calf Program”?
- At our Clutier, Iowa facility, we receive your embryos and transfer them into our recipient cows. This process is carried out by a licensed DVM.
- Our recipient cows receive top-notch care and are exclusively fed with feed that we grow and harvest ourselves to ensure the highest quality.
- All calves are born in a climate-controlled environment and receive creep feed from birth until they're ready to leave.
- After a two-week weaning period, you can pick up your calves either in Iowa or at our Donor Facility in Cisco, Texas.
- Our calves are fully vaccinated, wormed, and given multi-min at weaning. In addition, our heifers receive BANGS vaccination, guaranteeing that calves can come home and go to work.
- We want to build long-lasting relationships. This is why our program guarantees your transfer spots for 5 years.
