Cattle Semen

Cattle semen is available through Genus of Nantwich. The cost per straw is £10 (plus VAT) plus the Genus consignment fee of £4.17. There is an annual limit per breeder of 10 straws per person per bull.

For all queries relating to pedigrees, DNA, export, or breeding advice please contact the relevant breed society or the RBST Field Officers.

Please note, there are problems within the industry regarding the transfer of semen between centres. It is important before ordering semen to ensure that your local centre operates in the same network as Genus at Towcester (which is the central store for semen owned by the Trust). Alternatively check that your chosen AI centre has a working transfer system from Towcester in place.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the semen arrives in the best possible state, the RBST regrets that it cannot guarantee the contents of a consignment or the fertility of individual straws.

Any breeder wishing to import cattle semen into Northern Ireland from the mainland should contact RBST on 024 7669 6551 or email us at [email protected].
