Cattle Services:

Greener Pastures Breeding Service is based in Rathdrum, Idaho and is proud to serve all of Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington.    

 

We specialize in breeding beef and dairy cattle and we can also help with: 

On Demand Mobile Services 365 Days Per Year

We understand that animals don't always follow our schedules,  so we do our very best to be available on holidays and weekends and also during the traditional "off season." Also, we don't charge extra fees for holiday or weekend calls! If you have a animal come into heat, give us a call; chances are that we will be able to help you!

Sire Selection

Do you need help interpreting EPDs? Have specific breeding goals that you want to achieve? Need to find a calving ease bull? Want to find the ideal bull for your herd? We have access to a very large number bulls and we will work with you to find the right one for your program.                       

Heat Detection 

Heat detection is one of the biggest factors that determines the success or failure of your herds breeding program. We can help design a heat detection program for your herd, and also help you interpret any signs of heat that you see, in order to determine the ideal time for breeding.

Custom A.I. Programs

Tell us about your animals, your facilities, and your goals, and we will work with you to design the ideal A.I. program for your needs. Whether you have a large commercial herd, or a single cow that does not show any signs of heat, we will find a solution for you!

Estrus Synchronization and Timed Insemination

Estrus Sync

The most common synchronization program is the CO-SYNCH protocol with the CIDR.

        Here's how it works:

          Day 1: 1st GnRH injection, CIDR (progesterone insert) is put in

          Day 7: PGF2a injection, CIDR is removed

          Day 7 + (54 - 60 hrs): 2nd GnRH Injection, Insemination

            (This program usually requires at least one additional farm call when used in combination with the insemination services.)

BioPRYN Blood Pregnancy Testing

We work with BioTracking labs for pregnancy diagnosis. The BioPRYN blood pregnancy test is a fast, accurate method of determining whether cattle are pregnant or not. We take care of blood sample collection, record keeping, packing and shipping, and results as part of the blood test package.                      to read more about the BioPRYN test.

Semen  Storage

Semen Storage

We now offer semen storage! With this service, you can order semen from practically any bull that you want, and simply have it shipped to us for affordable storage in our liquid nitrogen tank. This way, it will be readily accessible, no matter what time of the year it is needed.

Also, if the semen is used within 12 months, the storage fee will typically be waived!
