2022 - Fulfillment of my great wish for red AA US genetics  via embryo transfer  

​

Embryo Transfer - Creating new genetics and opportunities in the red Aberdeen Angus breed.

This thought has occupied me for a long time. In search of suitable genetics, I decided to import unique red Aberdeen Angus genetics from the USA via embryo transfer in order to enhance the genetic diversity in Germany.  

​

I've spent weeks researching the internet to find matching red AA genetics in the US. The development of the strategy for the implementation of the embryo transfer also took weeks. In the meantime, I have been looking for suitable carrier animals and accommodation options, as I simply said that they are not available from home. In the end I found the perfect solution and I'm really happy about the trust placed in me. Without the consent of the owner, who makes the carrier animals available, it would not be possible to implement my entire project.  

​

Back to the topic of "embryo transfer". at  Will Andras  from Manchester, Illinois I finally found what I was looking for. It is all the more gratifying that this breeding facility fully complies with the current legal regulations for the export of embryos. Will Andras has outstanding expertise in Aberdeen Angus breeding. Andras Pineta E011 is made available exclusively for embryo transfer. I am very grateful to Will Andras for supporting this logistically complex procedure.

​

Andra 's Stock Farm  has impressive, numerous and breeding successes in the Red Angus breed. They have a National Champion Bull, a Reserve National Champion Bull, two Grand Champion Bulls on the NAILE, a Grand Champion Cow on the NAILE, a Champion Pen with three heifers on the NWSS, and numerous Division and Progeny Champions on the most notable  Red Angus shows such as the Iowa State Fair, Louisville (NAILE). There are currently around 180 cows calving on the farm and another 80 via cooperative herds. They rely on extensive AI and ETs (embryo laboratory on the farm).

​

If luck is on our side, the first embryo transfer calves will be born in 2023.  

​

I would like to sincerely thank my supporters, without their supportive and positive open-mindedness this project would not be possible.  

​

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

I am in a constant learning process when it comes to "embryo transfer" and would be happy if like-minded people would contact me. So far I'm the only one at my regulars' table :-D ​

​

Many greetings

Your
