Small Animal Reproduction

We perform in-house progesterone testing to help determine breeding/AI times and c-section times. This is the gold standard and most accurate way to determine when a dog needs to be inseminated.

Scheduled C-sections are a safe option for many dogs that might struggle to have puppies on their own.

Surgical artificial insemination is becoming more and more common amongst elite breeders to improve their chances of a successful breeding.

Large Animal Reproduction

Our practice owns full-service equine stables located 1/2 mile from our Premont veterinary clinic. We feel it is important for breeding animals to be in a good quality, low stress, and reasonably priced environment in order to facilitate conception. All of the animals are monitored daily. Our team has been able to achieve impressive conception rates with his ability to diagnose problems and confirm pregnancy earlier.

Our veterinarians also have experience with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and deer. Many people are able to work with one of the common domestic animal species but our vets have experience with most of them. Many times, it is economically beneficial to allow animals such as cattle to breed on their own. The need for a veterinarian comes in when you have multiple cows that will not stay bred, to see if a bull is fertile, or if you need to artificially inseminate. Some also want to plan when their cows come into heat to be able to prepare for days when they have the most help.

Trich Testing:

All breeding bulls that are sold in the state of Texas must be tested for Trich. All of our vets are certified with the USDA to perform this testing.

Over the years, our veterinarians have honed our skills as he has followed our passion of breeding and raising race horses for over 35 years.

In order to have a successful breeding program, you need to make sure that you animals are healthy and fertile and you need to know early in the season so you can make changes sooner. One of the worst feelings is knowing that none of your cows are going to be pregnant that season because your bull was infertile. Please never buy or use a bull in your program that has not had a breeding soundness exam and a Trich test to confirm fertility. You also need to know the heat cycles of your cows and be able to detect pregnancy quickly. With palpation and ultrasound, our veterinarians can detect pregnancy as soon as 30 days in cows and 14 days in horses. You don’t have to wait 2 or 3 months to know if your program will be on track to make a profit this year.
