Japanese Delegation Visits RSG

RSG was honored to host a delegation from Japan at our Lebanon, Indiana location. Comprised primarily of veterinarians, the group toured our facilities to learn more about our advanced reproductive technologies and how they can support small ruminant producers in Japan.

We are grateful for the opportunity to share knowledge, build international relationships, and advance the future of animal reproduction together.🤝

Check Out the RSG Sheep & Goat Genetics Catalogs

New sires are being added each month to our online Genetics Catalogs for Sheep and Goats. As young sires freeze semen, breeders are adding them to the available units for purchase.

When you’re ready, you can purchase semen directly through the online catalog with just a few clicks.

Once you’ve made your purchase, you have complete flexibility—store your genetics with RSG, or conveniently schedule shipment or on-site pickup to fit your breeding program timeline.

We are here to assist if you have any questions!
