I dont follow it that much anymore but I recall seeing NY Sire stakes races with 6 or 7 of the horses by the same sire.

If I were a mare I would prefer AI to a bunch of men trying to rape me in my stall. Where do breeding "accidents" rank in cause of death?

i don't recall ever seeing a mare getting killed in a breeding accident, but several sires have been injured. a few years back a stallion injured his withers after falling over-he had to be euthanized.

He's English

I think the only chance for TB AI rests in somebody being able to show how it would be fantastically financially beneficial to the majority.





The silence is deafening ....

Is there any thing involved in federal vs. state law when it comes to shipping frozen sperm instead of shipping mares to be bred? Would there be an effect on federal regulation I guess I'm asking, in terms of the Commerce Clause? I'm just speculating because we have things like state incentives and what not that promote one state over another that are currently able to operate.

It's entirely possible there is no difference, I was just trying to think beyond the arguments I generally hear regarding AI.

I think it is much more common than once every few years.
