Stallion Services

Working with stallion Rolex.

Training Dr. Em Lorzel’s young Ojibwe stallion, Mino Bimaadiziwin (Mino for short), for semen collection in a university setting. As a member of a rare breed, preserving Mino’s genetics was especially important. Following training, Mino was successfully collected and his semen preserved for potential future breedings.
