How the embryos are made
Texas donors. Thai calves.
1 · Ultrasound & ovum pick-up
2 · IVF in the lab
3 · Frozen in nitrogen, then shipped
Embryos under the microscope
At the feed bunk
Visitors' day at the farm
Semen from six registered sires and IVF embryos from fifteen registered donor cows — the same American Brahman bloodlines Ben spent a decade moving from Texas into Thailand. Every animal is ABBA-registered; every pedigree links to the registry.
For more than a decade Ben's company, Thai-Tex Cattle Exporters, moved Brahman genetics from Texas into Thailand three ways: frozen semen, IVF embryos, and — for the highest-value animals — whole shuttle flights of live cattle.
The program ran under the name YZ International Livestock: a Texas herd at Robinson, near Waco, and a Thai partner farm with its own IVF laboratory at Sikhio, Nakhon Ratchasima. Texas donors were flushed, the embryos frozen and flown, and Thai recipient cows carried the calves.
Ben is retired from day-to-day ranch work. The genetics are not. This page is where they are sold.
Six registered Red Brahman bulls. Frozen semen, sold by the straw. Tap a name for the ABBA pedigree; press play to see the bull walk.
Fifteen registered Red Brahman donor cows. Embryos are produced by IVF from these donors and the sires above, frozen, and shipped for transfer into your recipient cows. Press play to see each cow walk; tap a name for the pedigree.
Tell us the sire or donor you want, how many straws or embryos, and where your recipient cows are. We quote by message — pricing depends on the animal and the quantity — and we arrange nitrogen-tank delivery anywhere in Thailand, or export paperwork for further afield.
Pedigrees link to the American Brahman Breeders Association registry (livestockgenetics.net). Semen and embryos are supplied with registration papers and health certificates.
