Shorthorn Semen & Embryos for Sale

Much of the semen from the 1950’s to 1980’s was preserved in ampules rather than in straws. The volume of semen in each ampule was typically 2-4x the amount currently in straws, so there’s more potential for production of multiple embryos. For a comprehensive article on using ampules, see the following: https://shorthornselectgenetics.com/semen/using-amps-or-wands
