NOTE!

If your mares are being boarded at a farm other than your own, please be sure that they are notified of the above schedule.

Insemination of Transient Mares:

Transient breeding may be done. That is, the mares are trucked to our breeding shed and inseminated by us.

Semen Pickup:

Mares may also be bred by semen pick up. That is, a representative of the farm where the mare is located arrives at the breeding shed to pick up semen. (A suitable container should be brought when semen is picked up, or one will be provided by us at the owner’s expense). The semen is then delivered to the farm for insemination.

Boarding Information:

Please note that North Point Farm does not accept outside mares for boarding during periods of quarentine so please plan accordingly.

Payment Information:

Payment for semen is due in full before any semen can be shipped. This will be strictly enforced. In addition to cash and personal or business checks, we offer our customers the ability to pay via credit card using Pay Pal.
