Continuing Service Award at the
convention held here at the Holi

Bennett was bom in 1961 to
James and Barbara Bennett of
Knoll Crest Farms of Red House.
Va. Bennett’s interest in beef cat
tle was noticed when he was four
years old. He started showing
heifers when he was six and has
maintained all Knoll Crest cattle
records since he was 10.
Bennett was graduated from
Randolph Henry High School and
VPI and SU in 1979 and 1983, re
spectively. While in college, Ben
nett was a member of the livestock
judging team and was the first re
cipient of the George Litton

Bennett returned to Knoll Crest
Farms, which today has a national
reputation of prpducing perfor

recruiting other veterinarians to do
the same. Initially, due to geo
graphical constraints, this service
unit will only serve Wisconsin,
USA, and the closely surrounding
areas. Beef and non-lactating,
dairy donor females from outside
this area may be included if they
are housed at ABS during the pro
cess. A management board for this
project, led Matthews, will
make the necessary decisions to
rapidly expand this business and
eventually satellite into other geo
graphic areas.
Brett Scott will represent ABS
in this partnership as manager of
the embryo production laboratory.
Scott will direct the day-to-day
operations at the DeForest loca-
Ue in America today, producing
both bulls and females that have
been in demand by both the pure
bred and commercial cattle indus
tries.
Knoll Crest Farms have placed
in excess of 10 bulls of the Polled
Hereford, Gelbvieh, and Angus
breeds in A.I. studs that have been
used extensively throughout the
United States and foreign coun
tries. Polled Hereford seeds lock
cattle have been exported to Aus
tralia.
Bennett is a demonstrated lead-'

IVF technician, and Heidi Van*
Beek, veterinary technician, com
plete this team. Karen Vanßeek,
veterinary technician with the
livestock area, will coordinate the
animal resources with the embryo
production. „
‘This new service offers an al
ternative to harvesting elite gene
tics from superior females,” said
Scott “Our target niche will be
females of value for A.I. contracts,
as well as a tool' for those breeder*
striving to improve their herd with
larger numbers of offspring from
their best cows.” <
“This process is a good altera
tive to super-ovulation,” saij)
Matthews. “Not only does it allow
the production of embryos from
females already pregnant, it also
allows more frequent oocyte col
lections, the use of several diffe
rent mating sires, and a process
that does not utilize hormones or
other drugs.”
Longer term, ABS hopes to
develop this service to a larger
geographical market through
additional training and the use of
satellite laboratories.
Fees set for this service are $35
for IVP collection of donors at
ABS and $175 per embryo for
quality grade one (1) or two (2)
produced. Additional costs would
include donor housing fees, reci
pient fees, and market price for
semen.
