2007 Stud Fees

Multiple Mare Fees are available to clients booking more than one breeding at a time and include
breedings booked to different Varian stallions. Multiple Mare breedings must be used within three years of booking.

TRANSPORTED SEMEN INFORMATION

If you are interested in using transported semen to breed your mare, you'll need to complete a Transported Semen Contract for breeding.  Send in the completed Transported Semen Breeding Contract along with your booking fee of $250.00 per breeding.  In addition to the stud fee, for breedings by transported semen there is a lab fee charge of $275.00 per heat cycle for processing, packaging and handling of the cooled, transported semen. Unless you have a particularly difficult breeding candidate, you can expect an early conception. For those with older or difficult mares, Varian Arabians will not charge a lab fee after the third heat cycle in a given breeding season. Mare owners still pay all shipping fees.

For each lab cycle fee, you are entitled to receive TWO EQUITAINERS of cooled semen per your mare's heat cycle (page 3 item 3 of contract), if needed. Each Equitainer will have TWO INSEMINATION packets. That's FOUR COVERS DURING YOUR MARE'S HEAT CYCLE. If, due to a heavy breeding schedule on the day you place your order, four packets are unavailable, then you will receive a minimum of one insemination packet in each Equitainer. You may use the inseminate packets as your veterinarian wishes. Each packet will contain between 1 and 5 billion motile sperm when shipped from Varian Arabians.  

ON THE FARM BREEDING

If you are interested in bringing your mare to Varian Arabians for on the farm breeding, you'll need to complete an On the Farm Contract for breeding your mare here at Varian Arabians.  Send in the completed On The Farm Breeding Contract along with your booking fee of $250.00 per breeding.

We welcome your mare to be bred at Varian Arabians if possible. Mares bred here are first in line for breeding with fresh semen, before any is shipped to other clients.
