Ganadera 63’s S Program Today •Strong partnerships (Alta - Vitrogen) •Strong local & international scientific back - up. •50 proven pure - bred donors. •Pregnancy - by - order ofer in market (10+ potential PR/wek). •12 highest - quality buls in coletion. •45,0 units sold in 201. •10,0 units to be sold in 202. •2 4 - year old buls for imediate sale. •70 I.V.F. pregnancies due in 3 months. Ganadera 63 Senepol Program’s Goa •Highest level technical suport (for self and clients) internal, local & international. •Mas production of superior genetics. •30,0+ units of semen per year by 204. •Continue injecting new genetics into herd. •Strict selection to asure genetic improvement generation after generation. •Encourage and strengthen new breders. •Share best genetics with market (non - monopoly atitude). Imposible is what no - one has ever done. Just until someone does it.
