I think the bloke needs a medal if his wife lets him keep them all over the house (exept the bedroom) I get ear ache if i leave a new model in the living room for more than a few days. We could dwindle the numbers down on here who are actually farm workers with a collection. Fair play to the bloke as not so long ago I thought that i was allone in collecting so many models, That was until I found this little site on te internet with like minded people as myself and look what the forum has turned into.

an interesting read http://www.cruachan.com.au/embryo_transfer.htm

Its not as simple as AI Embryo transfer is a very specialised system for producing large amounts of high pedigree offspring from sometimes only a few cows/bulls A farm next door used to do it and my mate worked there. I went on numerous occasions to see him and he explained how it works First you get a top ranking cow, Then you have to harvest the eggs which go into the lab there they are sepperated and fertilised with the semen from the desired bull (which can be from anywhere in the world). The embryos are then cultured for a while in the lab. Then they are transfered to, in this farms case some Hereford cows which have been specially prepared for the procedure of transfer. Wait for a few days then pregnancy test the cow to see if it is in calf, then let nature take its course. They allso scan the cows to see what the calf is . At the end you have full blown pedigree dairy cows/bulls which can be worth a small fortune. That is a simplified version of events The farm no longer does any of this anymore as they moved away It was a very expensive way of breeding cattle but the proffits could be emense. I hope this is what you were looking for
