Neither rain, nor snow…

…not dark of night…can upset the timetable for embryo transplants once the clock is running.

So under miserable cold and wet and muddy conditions, Veterinarian Tom Massey and grandson Church managed to successfully cut out and bring in eight cows that had been prepped. 

Eventually embryos went in six by bulls including Lakota’s P60 and Rotokawa 663 and 93.

We’ll now turn in our English bull Essington from Brian Drake’s old herd…and our own Churchill…to finish the job.  Sometimes I feel our slogan should be:  What’s Old is New Again.
