I shipped several straws of semen from Nevergone to Smithville. The process was super easy and very affordable at only $350. Since having my semen at Smithville my feelings have been up and down. They are definitely priced as good or better than any place you will find in the country. I was recommended by several to use Smithville so I have zero doubts they are very good when it comes to AI’ing your female and getting positive results. My issue with Smithville has come from shipping semen out to other vets to get a female bred that can’t be brought to Smithville, Tn. I spoke to a lady almost daily for well over a week and she was just as lost the next day as she was the day before on what I was wanting to do. After over a week and being told multiple times I need to call fedex and arrange the shipping mysef as well as figuring out shipment cost I finally threw my hands up. We ended up losing the opportunity to breed a female that anyone would be sick to miss out on. So my feelings are if you have a female needing bred and can take them to Smithville for the procedure I think they are as good as anywhere in the country but if you have a stud dog and you need your semen shipped out to various parts of the country which is just par for the coarse they are still way behind the eight ball in this area.
