Special Services:
PLEASE
NOTE: A.I. collection is only offered from mid-April through mid-August.
Exceptions can be possible, but there is the possibility of troubles attaining a viable
shipment. There may be extra costs ensued due to the natural breeding cycles and the
climate. These costs will be the responsibility of the mare owner.
Frozen
semen may be available by request only. Frozen semen may carry an additional fee to
cover the additional cost associated with the freezing process. Shipment of frozen
semen is contingent on the availability of the proper type of shipping unit. There
may be additional charges for shipping, which shall be paid by mare owner.
Shipping semen to most parts of the country will be by FedEX or UPS next day air,
generally the cost is $75.00 or less, UNLESS we must go a special Saturday or Sunday
shipment. A.I. container deposit and fee deposit is $400.00. This deposit is
handled through the veterinary service which does the collection. Collection fees
are to be paid by the mare owner directly to the veterinary service. Deposit will be
returned after container is received back at the veterinary service in good condition.
They request the container be shipped back as soon as possible.
Special Rush Fee: If you do not give us a minimum of 7 days notice of mare's heat,
and a minimum of 48 hours before bringing a mare or requesting a shipment, a special rush
fee will be charged of $25/$50 in addition to regular fees. Time is required
to prepare and coordinate with the veterinary service. A suitable mare in standing
heat must also be located. Prior notice allows timing of a mare's cycle for the
collection process.
*** We have tried to keep all fees at a minimum. With your cooperation and
communication, there will be a minimum of problems in breeding your mare. It is most
important that you have your mare's breeding soundness evaluated by a qualified
veterinarian before attempting to breed. It is also very important that the veterinarian
on your end be comfortable with the procedures with a decent success rate. Many
times a mare will not conceive because of the semen being mishandled before breeding.
Please ask questions, become familiar with all aspects of the process before
shipment is attempted. Things will go much smoother and you'll be better prepared if
there is a delay or problem along the way. Be sure to let us know if problems of any
sort are anticipated. Substitution mares will only be allowed with proper documentation
and written approval.*** |
