We would like to invite everyone to take advantage of the latest technology in sheep breeding. Artificial insemination(AI) is fast becoming the most efficient way to improve your genetic base. We have spent several years designing and improving our facility to accommodate large numbers. Poe Hamps has used AI since 2005 and conception rates have steadily improved. You will see better conception with a fresh semen AI program vs. a frozen semen program.
In an effort to make it more successful and more attainable to smaller flocks we will offer several rams to a fresh AI program this year. Please study the rams below and determine which ram best meets your needs and then schedule your ewes accordingly. We can also AI breed using frozen semen of your choice. If you have any questions please e-mail or call either Stan or Kalen.
Space is limited to 125 head per day and non-refundable fee of $50/head is required by May 1st to reserve your space. There will be additional surgery/cidr/pg600 costs. These can be purchased through us or on your own. An estimated total cost would be $80/head, excluding semen cost.
Your ewes will remain in single group throughout entire process, NO co-mingling with other ewes. AI breeding is a one day in/out procedure. Your ewes will be unloaded, penned separately and moved through breeding unit to recovery pen, before being loaded back on your trailer, for the ride home.
There is no better, more affordable insurance, than having your new ram collected. The collected semen can be frozen and used for years, in case of death or sterility. We offer several collection programs throughout the year. This includes "in-season" collection, when best results are achieved. Please call or e-mail for current schedule of collection days.
