We’ve now completed three flushes at RSG and thought you might like to see the results. Note that Donor 1 refers to the same ewe, flushed in October and December (and in May). We were impressed with the RSG recip ewes. They looked like commercial ewes, but they worked like Grand Champions. We’d like to call out Gail Slaton, who consistently provided us with answers and information through the process.
