New Method Advances Artificial Insemination In Ohio
The Central Ohio Breeding Association and Ohio State University report a new frozen semen technique improving dairy beef stock. Studs west of Columbus supply diverse sires, enabling best traits to pass to offspring and increasing conception rates.

Contact local agents Hib bard or Gillespie to obtain service, while the method already draws inquiries nationwide. A Friday Hale weather note records a 54 to 68 degree stretch in rural Hamley Run.
