New Genetics Inventory Management Platform Going Live October 23rd!

We are excited to announce our new semen and embryo inventory system will be launching this month. The platform features a comprehensive dashboard to easily view your inventory, recent and pending transactions.

The animal details now include images, registration information and other data points. The new platform is designed to be user friendly and accessible from any device including cell phones and tablets.

What do you need to do as a RSG storage client?

Be aware we will be deactivating the old semen inventory system at 5pm October 19th to transition everyone to the new platform. Make any necessary semen movements prior to that date as access to inventory will not be available for 3 days as we make the switch.
Make any semen purchases you might need prior to the 19th at 5pm as our Sire Catalog will also be unavailable for 3 days prior to us going live in the new platform.
Watch for an email from us with the link and login instructions for the new system on October 23rd.
Follow us on social media and our home page for updates.

New Opportunity!

Our vision at RSG states the following, “Leading the small ruminant industry by providing cutting edge tools for total program management through the RSG four cornerstones of Animal Health, Nutrition, Genetics and Breeding Services.” That being said, we would like to announce to our clients the next innovative tool, called “The Revolution by RSG”.

We are all aware of the impact that frozen embryos have had for years in the cattle industry, and as trends show, we are next to follow in the small ruminants. We bring you “The Revolution”, an online frozen embryo and pregnant recip sale held on December 5th, with SC Online Sales. RSG wants to extend to our ET clients, a formal invitation to participate in this sale. The vision…. To change the game with RSG frozen embryos, just like we have on the frozen semen.

Nutrition Matters

Fall born lambs are on their way and that means it’s time to get ewes on the RSG Nutrition 16% Complete Lactation feed. This feed is built to maximize milk production during the lactation phase of production. The complete pellet has the highest amount of carbohydrates of any RSG feed. Powered with Zinpro Performance Minerals assuring the highest levels of intake possible in this high stress time for females.
