So the shipped, cooled semen of all stallions may not give these same results. If the stallion is highly fertile and the mare has been prepared to ovulate within 24-72 hours after insemination, use both doses of semen the day it arrives. This saves the cost of a second trip for a veterinarian or technician to inseminate the mare again and reduces the risk of infection. Each time a mare is inseminated or mated, contamination can lead to an infection. Late in the breeding season, consider using both doses of shipped, cooled semen the day it arrives.
Trees can benefit any home landscape.
In the winter, their bare branches let through the warming rays of the sun. Trees also beautify the landscape, with their graceful foliage or colorful blooms. Here are some suggestions from Carol Reese, a horticulture specialist with the Agricultural Extension Service of The University of Tennessee. Mulch under trees so that mowers cutting closely to the trunks won't skin the bark. This is a common cause of death for young, woody plants.
