A very big THANK YOU to Boviteq, Dr.Funnell, Dr.Hegg, Green Show Cattle, Kent Jaecke from Griswold Cattle, Michael Cramer, and Todd Wallace. This happened because of many people going in many directions at the same time. It's called teamwork and I am forever grateful to each and everyone of them.

Last year Rowe Show Cattle, LLC turned a loss into a heart-felt win with Boviteq! On March 15, 2023, they contacted Dr. Bethany Funnell, Boviteq OPU partner at Purdue Large Animal Hospital, about one of their donors who was unfortunately going to be put down. A certain loss for Rowe, they wanted to see if they could get another calf from her. Dr. Funnell went the extra mile, quickly collecting her ovaries, resulting in 17 oocytes. She drove them to the lab, arriving at 2 AM on Saturday. The semen drop happened in the middle of the night by Dr. Alex Hegg, the referring veterinarian. The Saturday crew fertilized the oocytes to Red Eagle E7194, a bull that had only been used once before, resulting in four frozen embryos the following Saturday. Last week this heifer calf was born from all of these efforts! This is the Boviteq Difference.
