August 2000

• Westholme herd in Canada progresses well.

During July, Chris Walker visited Calgary to meet with directors of Alta Embryo Group and Colpitts Farms.

Colpitts Farms run by Joe Zink consists of over 4,000 acres of rich farming country situated close to Calgary and with a long family history of cattle raising.

The Westholme herd of Japan born and registered Wagyu donors and 1 bull is managed and cared for by Joe and his team on one of their beautiful, historic ranches.

Alta Embryo Group (AEG) own a large and advanced embryo collection facility just outside of Calgary. Doug McDermand is the Director managing the Westholme liaison and embryos collected over the last 6 months are now in recipients at Westholme, Tarana Australia. Embryos collected from Westholme's Wagyu donors are flown monthly to Australia.
