| She
was a One in a Million!
Most of us have only had one, or maybe a handful of cows in
your lifetime with noticeably different traits than any other animal you have
bred such as:
It was always easy for her,
even when herdmates were struggling, to keep adequate body condition while weaning
a high performance calf!
Her/his gain efficiency
was always so much better than anything
else I owned.
She had great offspring
every 12 months; it didn’t matter what we bred her to!
The special genetics she
possessed seemed to die with her.
Save your outstanding animals’
DNA for later use, research, or to bring a clone back into your herd at a more
cost effective time.

Injury and stress often shortens life, slows reproductive performance,
and puts your marketing program in jeopardy.
There is always chance of injury during calving, loading and
trucking cattle to shows or to an embryo or semen collection center.
Lightning strikes the prairie, injury from a natural service
bull, cows may get hurt being ridden while in heat or while handling in pens and
chutes. Use Cyagra’s
cell preservation as an inexpensive insurance policy.
The Steer that would
be a Great Bull
We all have had a great
steer that turned out better than we guessed. His performance data and carcass
evaluation was phenomenal. The improved performance of his family members is making
him a hot item.
Cell preservation combined
with cloning can bring back that great steer as a herd sire.

A Positive Blue
Tongue Titer Test
You never know when a positive test for blue tongue, leucosis,
johnes or neospora is going turn up. Any of those can bring an abrupt end to your
marketing efforts. Preserved the genetics
of these animals. The cell line process and management after their clone is born
can eliminate many of these problems.
She has a Vaccination
Titer
I vaccinated her like all
the other animals on my farm. I never guessed she would be good enough to market
embryos globally. Now she carries a BVD titer that does not allow her offspring
to sell into many markets.
Cell preservation, combined
with cloning, can recreate this animal and allow you to raise him or her without
the positive titer.
Cell preservation is a
viable solution for many additional herd management situations

Boy,
I Wish I Knew More About the Genotypic Profile of My Best Animals.
With cell preservation you can develop families more successfully in the future.
Genetic markers are being identified for desired traits like tenderness, marbling,
and rib eye areas. In the future we will know more about health and reproductive
traits. Unfortunately, without a supply of cells preserved for females, like semen
for males, it is more difficult to do research or track a particular trait. It
is also more difficult to document the history/development of a desired gene.
You can more easily identify and eliminate negative traits found in your animals
in future generations.
Lets Bring Those Great High Reliability ‘Moms’ Back!
Often we experiment using an old bull from ten or twenty years ago on our modern
cow families, but often our great highly reliable cows become static reproductively
before we get a chance to use new genetics on them.
Bring the best, highly reliable moms back and cross her with today’s
sires.
I want to Sell Her, but I Want to Raise Her Too!
You were just offered a substantial amount for a heifer. You don’t have
expertise in getting an animal prepared to show. At the same time, you would like
to raise her as your herd’s brood cow too.
Have it both ways with cell preservation and cloning.
What if He Died Tomorrow?
He is the best bull you ever owned. He might be a great one. He might be the
one to win at Denver next year. He should sire great females too, but he won’t
have calves for another year and you won’t know how those females reproduce
for another four years.
Bulls take a long time to prove themselves as genetically favorable bulls.
Why risk losing the animal before he is proven to be what the industry desires?
Often by the time a bull stud is interested in your bull, he is injured, or is
unable to produce quality semen.
Insurance can help provide some reimbursement for his value, but does not
replace your herd’s increase in marketing ability, future sales and the
satisfaction from owning those superior animals.
I Wanted to Upgrade Genetics and Change the Coat Color
Have you ever had a great breeding line where you attained the coat color or
polled gene you wanted, and then lost it again?
Cell preservation allows you to make a decision to bring back an animal at
a later time when it is more affordable or when your animal is more valuable.
Cell preservation also ensures that you maintain and keep available those unique
genes like color or polled you once had.

I want to concentrate a family’s superior genes over
many generations!
I want to bring back an especially superior female and linebreed to a grandson,
or a great grandson depending on which may make the biggest industry contribution.
Many breeders are already utilizing this technology from Cyagra to help lock
in their herds’ genetic future. Join the growing number of dairy and beef
producers who are preserving their best genetics and solving some of today’s
complicated genetic problems!
I Would Never Have Guessed the Market was Going to Turn that Way!
The market and what is considered valuable, takes twists and turns. New diagnostic
testing capabilities, new recessive genes, market fads and other genetic developments
can change an animal’s value almost overnight.
Have available your superior animal to use when the cattle cycle or industry
trends bring your animal back “in style”. Bring her/him, or their
specific traits, back to make that special breeding, or cross, based on what happens
with future genetic trends, market forces and new genetic developments
