Artificial Insemination Clinic

Triple W Genetics is coming to Covington, GA for Buck collections and LAP A.I.

*Start time is 8:30am

*There is no formal educational program on A.I., but people are encouraged to attend to watch and discuss with other goat breeders for social learning and being able to speak and ask questions with the professionals. There is a $10 flat entry fee which helps cover the facility rental fee.

*CIDRs need to be placed 14 days prior to the event. (aka on Saturday August 24th)

*Only LAP A.I. will be performed, not trans-cervical (the past 2 years the GDGBA hosted A.I. clinics that were trans-cervical only so this is new and would be a great learning opportunity for those considering A.I. in the future as well)

*Service Costs:  $80/doe paid directly to Triple W Genetics +travel fee (shared amongst all breeders based on # of does). Would total $650 split between all breeders (think how L.A. stop fee works), but is being additionally split with a second stop the following day nearby so even less than that overall). Triple W Genetics uses xylazine to sedate does for LAP A.I. and has the reversal if needed on site as well. There is no vet present, but you are welcome to bring yours

*cost for bucks:  $6/straw with a 30 straw minimum, $60 collection fee per buck +shared travel fee.  Buck owners need to supply a jump doe and send a picture of registration papers or buck info so straws can be printed ahead of time.

*Additional questions regarding procedures for the A.I. Clinic are to be directed to Triple W Genetics directly.

*Questions regarding facility can be directed to GDGBA @ GaDairyGoat@gmail.com. 5x5 Pens available for $10 each.

*Entry tickets also available for purchase at the door, but A.I. & Buck collection services MUST be pre-booked with Thomas @ Triple W Genetics. Phone number: (901) 581-6373 or TripleWGenetics@gmail.com. Tank filling must be pre-booked directly with Southeastern Cryo Services, LLC: (478) 957-5208 or southeasterncryo@gmail.com

***If less than 10 breeders sign up the event will be moved to Stephanie Gabriel's Farm in Colbert, GA
