The site to lie •developed :is .a 128' acre ,farrn, fronting .on Highway 6 andboundaried on the other side by the extension Of Guelph's Victoria Road..A main advantage of this location is the nearness of the University of Guelph, where,'bull' information is processed and :where the semen for artificial breeding .is deep frozen' for later use . Large scale insemination of cattle with frozen, semen was pion- eered in Ontario 1954.
