Ordering Procedure

Liquid or frozen semen may be ordered by calling our toll free number during normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central time, Monday through Friday. SGI offers a very flexible liquid semen program. We will ship a limited number of doses up to a total collection from the particular boar or breed you desire. Liquid semen is normally shipped on Monday and Thursday while total collections are available Monday through Friday by special arrangement. A limited amount of liquid semen may also be available on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. We would be happy to discuss your needs with you and work out a program tailored to your operation.

Orders for liquid semen should be placed as far in advance as possible, especially when requesting a specific boar. The most efficient method of semen shipment, at the lowest possible price, will be investigated for your area, at the time you place your order. Liquid semen will be shipped by 24 hour services only. The cost of shipping will be added to your invoice and mailed within a few days of when your semen is shipped. Payment for your order will be due within 20 days after your order is received. Overdue accounts will be subject to a monthly interest charge. Shipping arrangements and other instructions will be provided to you upon receiving your order. We welcome producers to pick up either fresh or frozen semen at the Swine Genetics headquarters in Cambridge. This will save you shipment charges and insure your liquid semen maintains the optimum storage temperature during its travel to your farm.

FOREIGN
Foreign orders may be placed by mail, telephone (515)383-4386 or Fax (515)383-2257. Foreign shipments will be made by air and insured. Because of the extended viability of liquid semen with the long life extender used by Swine Genetics, it is possible to make shipments of liquid semen to foreign countries in addition to the traditional frozen shipments.
