Schedule early – Avoid the seasonal rush and get on the books early.
Body condition – Make sure your sire is in ideal condition, not too thin or overweight.
Health check – Trim hooves, update vaccinations, and check overall health.
Clean out – Be prepared by following our RSG Clean Out Guide before collection time.

Excellent growth and carcass quality ideal for both terminal and maternal programs
