Unfortunately, due to external reasons we are not offering DIY AB training in 2026. We will revisit this for 2027.
We use your herd records to prepare a DIY Mating Report advising you which cow-bull matings to avoid. Your herd records must be up to date in MINDA before we can prepare a DIY Mating Report.
If you’re doing your own inseminating using Premier Sires we’ll send you a report once you’ve chosen your bull teams.
If you’re using Alpha bulls ask your LIC rep to prepare a report once you’ve finalised your bull selections.
Contact your LIC rep for more information about DIY Mating Reports.
See Inbreeding and recessive genes for more details about how we reduce the risks of inbreeding.
This includes:
- disposable gloves
- insemination wipes
- AB lubricant
- sheaths — clear tip and green tip
- inseminators (stainless steel GGI)
- tweezers
- scissors.
If you have your own deep freeze bank we recommend getting it test-weighed regularly to make sure it functions efficiently. We recommend annual weighing for banks more than four years old, and two-yearly weighing for those less than four years old.
Contact your LIC rep to lease a deep freeze bank, buy liquid nitrogen or arrange to get your deep freeze bank test-weighed.
