Thanks to AI tanks we have just solved the problem.&nbsp; Church found some Sunset semen in an old Folly Farm tank and Sunset is back on our pastures\u2026in the form of this three-month old bull calf. Making this an all the more exciting mating\u2026we AI-ed Sunset to our new young Tulip cow.&nbsp; She\u2019s from the Ashott Barton herd in England. We\u2019ve barely finished this year\u2019s calving and it\u2019s already time to start planning the timing for the next round of embryo and ai pairings. And we ear-marked some of our rare semen for live embryo transfers!\u00a0 We\u2019ll be flushing at Rose Hill Veterinary clinic in Little Washington and rushing the embryos back to the recips timed and waiting at Thistle Hill!\u00a0 Stay tuned!
