Picture of Lab

Our lab is equipped with the latest technology to ensure the highest quality of semen evaluation for cooling or freezing, for on farm breeding or shipping. From his years of experience and success as a Breeding Manager, Mark recognizes that the success of a transported semen program depends on the manner in which he handles and prepares your stallion's semen.

Cooled semen will be shipped in Equitainers by either FedEx overnite priority for next day delivery, or same day air counter-to-counter out of Roanoke Regional Airport via Air Net.

Amethyst Acres Equine currently has several stallions standing at stud. For more information on these stallions, click here.
