Letter from Doug TODAY
I believe it was meant to be sent to Jeff Simon but I wanted to post it as soon as I got it.
Dear Dr. Crovatt,
I enjoyed reading your update on STRU capabilities, you have done a tremendous job along with your fellow team mates.
Please make the following additions/corrections so that there is no confusion and also so the list may reflect our true capabilities:
Under Boar Stud...we are IMHO the largest "single" self contained state-of -the-art unit in North America.
Other genetic companies "pool" (correct term) their semen we do not
We also sell embryos and semen for Sheep and Deer...Deer semen is priced at $300 to $12,000 a dose depending on quality of animal. Currently we receive $1000 per AI of Deer, and $150 per sheep and revenues from these procedures are staggering since we are in the breeding season.
85% conception rate in swine ET's using GS system
Data from frozen semen without extender is producing same results as fresh semen with extender...another first in the world for STRU using the GS.
Recently took all 5 top honors in our show hogs at the state fair.
Under Muller AI - we have exclusive worldwide rights to a new semen packing device called "auto sealer" at 1/10 the cost of the closest competitor achieving the same processing rate.
Fairmont Finishers has 650 sows - also finishes 15,000 head of Tender Prime meat for distribution
AB Duroc will finish 4000 animals for T Prime.
Access to over 90,000 T. Prime animals available to us as some of these animals have been on LSG genetics. These are not as of yet alliance herds , however, they do need to be as we pay premiums above that of the packer so they make more when we pull form their herds. These animals are needed due to the increase of product orders from outside venders...I can not release any information on these accounts at the moment.
6 herds totaling approx 30,000 sows will begin using the GS system immediately under a rental agreement and a $10 per sow royalty, plus the selling of the necessary supplies i.e.. catheters needed for the procedure. Dr. Carlson will monitor these accounts and collect the data which will find its way into a reseach paper for presentation and publication.
We will be showing at the Agri-Link expo in Manila 19-21 Oct. 2000. Dr.Gourley will arrive 2 days earlier to perform some procedures in the Philippines.
We are also planning to attend and present our findings at a conference in Barcelona, Spain first week of Nov. 2000...more on this as I receive more details.
Attendance at the Hanover, Germany AI conference Nov. 28-Dec. 2, 2000.
Numerous visits to potential clients in the UK and Europe this fall.
This information will be available before or at the SH meeting. Other than these housekeeping issues your DD is very good ...I thank you in advance for making these changes...I'm glad your on our team.
Warmly,
Douglas
