Green Valley Farm has had excellent success with frozen semen.
In 2005 we decided to test Kastanjegardens Fernando's frozen semen
with three of our mares. All three became pregnant upon the first
insemination
and all three had healthy foals in 2006. In 2006 two mares were inseminated
with Fernando's frozen semen and both were confirmed 21 days pregnant
and later one reabsorbed. Another mare was inseminated with Thorvald's
frozen semen and is confirmed pregnant. We are looking forward to the
birth of these two foals in 2007. Green Valley Farm has a live foal
guarantee
with all of it's breeding, live cover or AI cooled or frozen.
There is an article about frozen semen in the Fjord Herald, Issue 77,
Winter 2005/2006.
Select Breeders website, www.selectbreeders.com , has some informative
articles about frozen semen. I was just looking for some info and saw
Fernando's
picture on their opening web page which list some of the top stallions of
all breeds-
a good advertisement of the Fjord Breed.
Frozen semen from Green Valley Farm's stallions,
Kastanjegardens Fernando, Thorvald & GVF Sjokolade, was collected by
Select Breeders (Aubrey, TX) at the Wisconsin Equine Clinic in Oconomowoc,
WI.
The semen is stored in both locations. Mares can be taken to the
Wisconsin Equine Clinic for insemination and there would be no shipping
charge.
The Veterinary costs can be more expensive for frozen semen but the
advantage
over shipped cooled semen is that the semen can be stored at the Veterinary
facility
until it is needed - the Vet does not have to estimate when the follicle
will be ready.
If you have any questions, or if you would like to reserve a breeding to one
of our stallions, by live cover or AI (cooled or frozen), please contact us.
