- Please be on time. Paperwork and collection starts at 8:00AM. We ask that all participants to be on site by 7:45AM.
- Have registration papers ready to complete paperwork and verify tattoos. Clean out the bucks ears or tail prior to this time. Be sure that all tattoos are legible and match the registration certificate. If an EID is used, the buck owner MUST provide the chip reader.
- If your buck is known to have issues such as old age, recent illness, previous issues with collecting, please advise us prior to attempting to collect so that other ideas and options can be discussed. Please note: Young bucks that haven’t bred a doe yet, very possibly won’t collect.
- Semen will be available to be viewed and ready to pick up the following morning after the collection day.
- If you’re unable to stay for the semen viewing and transfer into your tank, you must designate a representative to do so for you.
- All pick up and payment arrangements need to be made prior to leaving the host herd on collection day.
- Any nitrogen tanks left with the host herd for transferring of processed semen must be clearly labeled with the owners name and the name of the bucks to be transferred. The preferred canister location is recommended but please understand we cannot guarantee that option due to possible space limitations. Xcell Genetics assumes no liability of nitrogen tanks and their security.
- We do not have space in our tanks to hold semen we aren’t marketing. You must take possession of your semen after viewing.
