Sullivan Farms

Sullivan farms was a bit of a change of pace and definitely different to the other enterprises I had visited. Sullivan's is very much s an operation based upon cows and cow family's. the majority f calves are born via embryo transfer and also IVF technology. They sex embryos prior to implant in order t get a majority females calves which suits their major market of show heifers. In 2013 they calved down 900 calves of which 30 were males. Sullivan farms sell in excess of 300 females at auction per year of which 200 are broken in. The auctions are further supported by a substantial amount of private treaty sales.
