- Providing access to high quality bulls at modest prices.
- Prevention of transmission of diseases.
- Reduces the risk of introducing harmful recessive traits.
- Improved general herd management.
- Shortening the calving season.
- Improved merchandising through the use of well publicized bulls with known reputations.
- Enhanced genetic value of your herd
- Control venereal diseases
- Improved breeding records

Testimonials
"I took the combined AI and Embryo Transfer class, coming into the class I only had a very basic knowledge of the subject but they taught the classroom material very well and really made sure that you understood the subject/procedures/protocols. When working with the cattle for the hands on training I was having a very difficult time locating the cervix & passing the ai gun, never once did the instructor get upset or frustrated with me. He saw my struggles and made sure that I had all the time I needed and was not rushed. He supported & coached me until I was consistently able to locate & pass the cervix. Before leaving they made sure we knew and had a list of supplies and where to order them which was so helpful. I can't say enough about how good this class was taught and this school is ran! The experience I had at International Embryo technology School was truly a life changing experience through the knowledge learned and relationships made.”
Zachery Thomas
“The combined ET and AI course was a very valuable course, the instructor provided excellent instruction and his willingness to help and answer questions beyond the class is greatly appreciated. The small class size allowed for him to assist everyone, and provide advice to help with each individuals success moving forward. There was a perfect balance of time spent in the classroom, with laboratory work and getting inside of cows.”

“Implementing embryo transfer into our cattle operation has been an enormous success. We hold the International Embryo Technology School with our highest regard as they are largely responsible for our accomplishments.”
Bob Stevenson

"I found the embryo transfer course to be exactly what I needed and more than I expected. Through veterinary school, I did not get enough actual hands-on learning with advanced reproduction procedures. Being taught in a small class setting was an ideal learning environment, I gained the tactical skills and knowledge needed to successfully and confidently flush cattle for myself and future clients. I would recommend the class to anyone ready to take their veterinary practice or cattle program to the next level. It was well worth my money and my time."

"I just wanted to say I think the tuition for your class was the best money I've ever spent for continuing education. I really appreciated the way things were presented. You left no grey areas about which methods and techniques were best."
Bruce l. Chambers DVM
"The embryo transfer class I took was very informative and hands on. There was a good balance of classroom and cattle handling. I learned a lot! I honestly feel I can work my whole herd by myself after this class."
