  • Recipient Cows

    Our Recipient Cow Services specialize in providing an unlimited supply of high-quality, docile, and highly maternal females, carefully selected for their ability to raise top-tier seedstock. These cows are screened for diseases such as BVD, Brucellosis, BLV (Leukosis), Neospora, Johne’s, and Anaplasmosis to ensure optimal health and pregnancy outcomes. Recips can be purchased by the head, offering flexibility for your breeding program. Whether you're focused on genetic improvement or expanding your herd, our recipient cow program provides the reliable foundation for success.

  • Donor + Recipient Cow Management

    Our comprehensive Donor + Recipient Cow Management services are designed to enhance the success of your breeding program. We offer hormonal synchronization protocols to align the reproductive cycles of donor and recipient cows, ensuring the best possible outcomes. Additionally, we employ superovulation techniques to stimulate donor cows, increasing the number of viable eggs and boosting the yield of high-quality embryos. This targeted approach helps maximize genetic potential while ensuring that the recipient cows are ready to carry and nurture your embryos to full term.

  • Embryo Collection and Transfer

    At Frontier Embryo Center, we offer expert embryo collection and transfer services designed to maximize your herd’s reproductive efficiency. Our advanced techniques include non-surgical recovery methods to retrieve embryos from donor cows. The procedure is customized to the specific needs of the donor cow, ensuring maximum embryo viability and high success rates. After collection, we use high-precision transfer methods to implant embryos into carefully selected recipient cows, optimizing pregnancy outcomes and genetic progress for your herd.

  • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

    ·        Revolutionize your breeding program with cutting-edge IVF solutions. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) revolutionizes cattle breeding by allowing embryos to be fertilized in a lab and transferred into recipient cows. This process maximizes genetic potential, enabling donor cows to produce multiple embryos per cycle while targeting specific traits like growth and carcass quality. IVF also offers flexibility with options for fresh transfers or frozen embryo storage, making it ideal for genetic improvement and herd expansion.

    ·        Our IVF services are designed to revolutionize your breeding program by enhancing genetic precision. We begin with oocyte collection, using efficient, minimally invasive methods to harvest eggs from donor cows while preserving their reproductive health. These eggs are fertilized in our state-of-the-art laboratory using selected semen, creating embryos that are then implanted into recipient cows for optimal genetic outcomes. IVF provides advanced solutions for genetic improvement, herd expansion, and more controlled breeding.

  • Embryo Freezing and Storage

    Secure your genetic investments with our cryopreservation and embryo storage services. Through cryopreservation, we safeguard embryos by freezing them to maintain their viability for future use. Our long-term storage facilities are reliable and secure, allowing you to store embryos until they are needed, offering you flexibility with breeding schedules and the ability to strategically plan genetic improvement over time.

  • Sexing of Embryos

    Take control of your breeding program with pre-implantation sexing. This process allows you to determine the sex of embryos before transferring them into recipient cows. This technology empowers you to make strategic decisions about which embryos to implant, ensuring that your herd meets both breeding and market goals, whether you’re aiming for male or female calves for specific purposes like replacement heifers or market demand.

  • Artificial Insemination (AI)

    With our AI services, we help you boost genetic diversity and improve herd quality. We provide semen storage from top sires, ensuring that semen is safely stored and available whenever needed. Our skilled AI procedures ensure optimal conception rates, giving you the best possible genetic outcomes for your herd. AI is a powerful tool for expanding your herd's genetic potential while maintaining a high level of control over breeding outcomes.

  • Pregnancy Testing + Monitoring

    Our pregnancy testing and monitoring services ensure the success of your breeding program from conception to birth. We use ultrasonography for early, accurate detection of pregnancies, allowing you to make informed management decisions. Ongoing pregnancy monitoring helps evaluate recipient cows, ensuring they are carrying pregnancies to full term and supporting the health of both the cows and their calves.

  • Consulting + Custom Breeding Plans

    Our consulting and custom breeding plans are tailored to your herd’s specific goals. We provide genetic counseling to help you select the best genetics for your operation and offer strategy development services to create custom breeding plans that optimize performance and profitability. We also provide mating recommendations based on genetic compatibility and desired traits, ensuring that your breeding program is aligned with your long-term goals.

  • Export + Import of Embryos

    Navigating international embryo transactions can be complex, but with our expertise, it’s made easy. We handle all aspects of export and import for embryos, ensuring smooth transactions that meet international regulations. From documentation to logistics, we ensure the safe and efficient transfer of genetic materials across borders, making it easier for you to access the best genetics worldwide.


What happens

next

A step by step guide

  1. Initial Consultation

    • What You’ll Do: Contact our team through the "Book Now" feature on our website or call us directly. Share information about your breeding goals, preferred timeline, and the type of service you’re interested in (e.g., 60-day pregnant recipients, weaned calves, or 6-month weaned calves).
