three miles ,north of Guelph.in the
agriculture heart: of Ontario..
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. The .
practice has since been ,adopted ~ '
around the world, since it allows a
•
bull to be widely used., even. after
his death. A February, calf
conceived from -semen .frozen in
