Edward Matson explaining what they do at Twemlows Stud horse collection and breeding centre Collection demonstration at Twemlows Stud Big Star, a 19-year old, two time Olympic Champion jumper standing at stud Murka’s Gem, a 10-year old, cloned stallion, from a great jumper and event horse at Twemlows, who is now siring some champions Live horse ultrasound demonstration at Twemlows Stud Richard Matson at Twemlows talking about all the rare and near extinct animal cells they have stored here to propagate and build from Sunday morning, we were on the bus to go to Twemlows Stud & AI Centre run by brothers Edward and Richard Matson. This is an incredible horse breeding and collection operation with some leading technologies in play. On the stud side, we watched a stallion being collected and were walked through the barns with some top end stallions. From jumping to dressage horses, to rare breeds, it is an incredibly well managed operation that ships semen around the world, both fresh and frozen. They have a very extensive stud book with ones that have semen for sale. On the breeding side, they can house and breed mares, foal them or send them to their owners when confirmed pregnant. We were given an ultrasound demonstration checking the heats and pregnancies of mares. They also do embryo transfer and cloning if you want. They can clone your cat for £35,000, your dog for £55,000 or your horse for £75,000. They are also storing cells from endangered species in hopes of protecting them from becoming extinct in the future. Nature’s SAFE is a registered charity that is leading this project. It was a very interesting stop. From there we were off to York to check in for two nights with a bit of free time to check out this beautiful city. 70 - No bull works harder for the farmer, the plate and the planet - September newsletter 22.indd 70 16/09/2022 15:01:18
Slides from the presentation by Romy Morrin O’Donnell of Weatherbys Scientific The Charolais-Charbray International Annual General Meeting and a couple of seminars were held the next morning and afternoon with mainly the voting delegates from each country in attendance. The rest of the group were offered a walking tour of historic York followed by free time to explore the city on their own. I have included some slides of the presentations by Romy Morrin O’Donnell of Weatherbys, who do DNA and Genomic work in many countries. Gavin Hill, of the Scottish Agricultural College, spoke of the challenges and solutions he sees for the livestock producers with a Charolais slant to what he feels the breed in the UK needs to do. He talked of beef cow numbers being down, but dairy cows up being bred to beef bulls, so beef calf numbers are up.
