Does anybody have experience with E.T. in Dexter?

I don't think much embryo transplant work has been done in dexters in UK, and what little has been was not too successful in terms of number of calves got as a result.
I think more may have been done in Australia, perhaps some of those involved in UK or Australia would like to comment.

It has been done here in Canada. If you want me to, I could talk to the folks who were invloved as they are nearby. You could also visit the CLRC site (Canadian Livestock Records Corporation) and look at all the Dexters that have been registered and look for the letters EI. This data base will give you a wealth of information.

A number of New Zealand registered Dexters are listed as E.T. I guess it was the cheapest way of importing a particular genetic mix in a calf. Still a big outlay of money though.
