The Kyle Ranch offers On Farm, Cooled Shipped Semen, Frozen Semen, an Embryo Transfer Program, and year round mare care.  Over the last five years, Kyle Ranch has greater than a 95% pregnancy rate on the farm. 

MARE  MANAGEMENT Our pride is here.  Kyle Ranch is located on 230 acres of sandy loam soil with high quality Coastal Bermuda grass.  This allows us to designated special areas for older and less aggressive mares, dry mares, and this allows lots of room for yearlings to run and play.  In the fall, we plant two thirds of the ranch in winter wheat for excellent protein for the mares last trimester. more information         EMBRYO TRANSFER  The embryo transfer program at Kyle Ranch has proved to be extremely successful.  We had an impressive success rate on transfers of embryos, due to our Breeding Manager’s meticulous attention to the donor as well as the recipient estrus cycles.  We also give credit to our outstanding group of recipient mares picked – not only for reproductive soundness, but also for age, size and disposition.

       RECEIVING STATION FOR TRANSPORTED COOLED
               AND FROZEN SEMEN 

The collection, evaluation and cooling of semen is routine practice at Kyle Ranch. Considerable technology and skill is required to properly collect, evaluate, extend and prepare the semen for transport.  At Kyle Ranch, we work to achieve maximum longevity and optimal preparation of the semen. Mares that are receiving transported semen can be palpated on a daily basis to determine the optimum breeding date.
