Semen Freezing & Storage
We are affiliated with Select Breeders Services (SBS), and offer on site freezing and storage services at The Four Sixes to the general public. In addition, frozen semen is available in Australia, Argentina, Brazil, the European Union, Mexico, New Zealand, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Artificial Insemination
The Four Sixes uses artificial insemination (AI) on a routine basis for breeding purposes. Great care is taken to properly and safely manage stallions and mares during this process.
Mare Management
In addition to managing mares at the ranch being bred to stallions here, we handle shipped cooled or frozen semen sent in from outside stallions, as well. In addition, mares can be brought in for breeding, and do not need to be a long-term resident. Phil Fox (pictured here) is the horse division mare manager.
