Lucchetti Ranch Aquires Classic Sires

FROM LUCCHETTI RANCH: To broaden our breeding program, we have recently acquired the frozen semen business Classic Sires.  We are very excited about this new addition!  Classic Sires offers semen from some of the top German stallions.  Some of these great stallions include: Brentano II, De Niro, Don Frederico, El Bundy, Embassy III, Escudo I, Latimer, Londonderry, Rotspon, Royal Diamond, Rubinstein, Weltmeyer, and Werther.  To see the complete list of offered stallions, please visit our website.  Lucchetti Ranch is also an on-site breeding facility that would be happy to help you with any of your breeding needs.  We offer mare board and care, insemination, regularly scheduled veterinarian visits, and semen transportation.  We look forward to helping you develop your breeding program or develop the performance horse of your dreams!

Hanoverian State Stud stallions win Gold and Bronze in the 2006 Bundeschampionate

The Hanoverian State Stud stallions Locksley II (Londonderry/Weltmeyer) won Gold in the 2006 Bundeschampionate and Dancier (De Niro/Lancier) won Bronze!

Hanoverian State Stud changes their frozen semen packaging

Beginning in 2006 doses of frozen semen packaged from the Hanoverian State Stud stallions will now be packaged into 3 straws with 300 million sperm per straw for a total of 900 million sperm per dose, rather than 8 straws with 100 million sperm per straw for a total of 800 million sperm per dose. However, all semen collected from stallions prior to 2006 will still have 8 straws per dose. Therefore stallions, such as Weltmeyer or Rotspon, that the Hanoverian State Stud has frozen semen stored for will have collection dates prior to 2006 and will be 8 straw doses.
