Wagyu Office Reproduction Technology Day

On the 7th of April 2022 the Wagyu office visited the bull and embryo station at Absolute Genetics. The Absolute Genetics team showed us how to use reproduction technologies successfully. The office will apply the gained experience to better assist our members. We would like to thank Dr Fanie Steyn and the Absolute Genetics team for the successful day.
