Embryo Transfer
There are three ways to participate in our embryo transfer program:
- Bring your mare to the farm for Cooper QH to manage the entire process from breeding to Transfer.
- Breed and flush your mare at another facility and ship the embryo to us.
- Bring your mare to Cooper QH to be bred and flushed and have the embryo shipped to an outside facility
Our state-of-the-art embryo transfer program has an 95% conception rate. We use only Draft or draft cross mares as recipients. The mares go through a rigorous screening process before they can become recipient mares. They are chosen based on temperament and health. The use of draft mares results in larger foals at birth and eliminates any problems with foaling complications.
 A prepaid deposit of $750 will reserve your recipient mare! This covers the first cycle and includes the cost of managing the recipient mares in preparation for the embryo transfer. Fees for donor mare, board, and the embryo flushing are separate (if mare is on farm).
Your mare can be bred to any stallion of your choosing, we accept all outside clients, not just mares bred to our stallions.
