Conrayn Merino Stud, Berridale NSW

Conrayn Merino Stud has been using LBS since 2006 for our AI programs and ram semen collection. We decided to begin an ET program in 2023, collecting 74 A grade embryos from 8 ewes. LBS has made both programs easy and straightforward to follow. They also demonstrate a high level of professionalism and skill with their work.

Recent ET and AI programs have resulted in the following show results:

Sydney Royal 2025:

• Stonehaven Cup: All three rams were bred through an LBS AI program, and the two ewes are progeny from the LBS 2023 Embryo Transfer program.
• Grand Champion Ultrafine Ram: This award-winning ram was produced through an LBS AI program.

Quartz Australian White Stud, Forbes NSW

In 2021 with the guidance and support of Livestock Breeding Services (LBS) we started the expansion of our Quartz Australian White stud ewe flock, based exclusively on Tattykeel genetics.

The decision to engage LBS was influenced by several key features and capabilities of the business. We liked the focus of their dedicated service in reproduction technology. Michelle, Michael and the LBS team are Industry leaders in animal reproduction. They have a continued linkage with University Veterinary Programs keeping in touch with the latest developments within the industry.

Our ET programs utilised the modern LBS facilities at Jerilderie and were smoothly completed on farm in Forbes. The facilities and flexibility allowed Quartz to undertake what at the time was a very daunting step in the growth of our business. The success of these programs allowed our Australian White Stud to grow rapidly from the initial 30 Stud ewes to over 400 ewes.

We continue to utilise the services of LBS including Semen collection, freezing and storage as part of our Stud Sire insurance program. If you require ET, AI or Semen Collection services don’t hesitate to contact the team at Livestock Breeding Services.
