Looking for Collection Site Around IL/WI Border?

[Lionheart]

Hello,
We are offering our stallions publically for the first time this year. We need to find a place around the Illinois/Wisconsin boarder area to collect and ship semen around the country.

The boys are located in Wadsworth, IL near Tempel Lippizans, and we are willing to travel to Wisconsin or Illinois for collection and shipment. We just need a place to go.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

No idea, but I just had to say that's the funniest edit reason ever.

Thank you but that is almost a 2 hour drive ONE WAY! Not necessarily convenient when I have lessons to teach, shows to get to, etc. If i remember correctly, when my husband asked for pricing (they will not SEND you anything with pricing on it), they were ASTRONOMICAL!!! Like twice the amount of Blue Mounds on the west side of Madison, WI. And Blue Mounds isnt convenient either. :-(

Try Elkhorn Veterinary clinic, I believe they do collect and ship some stallions. Speak to Margie or Dr. Burns if he's back from NZ.

No idea if they collect outside stallions, but perhaps try askign Tudor Oaks Farm in Barrington, also.
