I'd like to report that 3 of my recipient cows are now pregnant with Registered Shetland Cattle embryos! It's something I've been working on for over 5 years now. I had a total of 15 embryos, got 3 cows pregnant out of the first 5 tries with 10 left to go. Currently my success rate is 60% about 10% better than the norm so at this rate I should hopefully get 9 calves or better. If you'd like to follow my progress you can follow my FB page at Shetland Cattle USA. It would be great to get mostly heifers so I can build the breed quicker with the 200+ straws of semen I have from genetically diverse registered Shetland bulls. First 3 calves should be born around September of this year. Shetland cattle are a rare, heritage breed. See you at the shows some day.
