Hi Inger

A 24K mile round trip conversation! Established intermittent comms with Progenetics in Oz. The price for Dannyboy semen was eyewatering so I am looking at possible alternatives eg Moomin Posh which is cleared for NZ. Do you know if any Moomin semen been used in NZ - no point in duplication.

Yes indeed, Moomin Posh semen was being sold by one of the NZ Dexter breeders, who bought some into NZ for their own use and purchased extra, so that other NZ breeders could make use of it as well. I'll have to look up my old emails.

The A.I. company called Genetic Enterprises were selling Moomin Macduff and Stargate Pendragon semen. Their web address is www.geneticenterprises.co.nz so you could have a look at that.

Woodmagic Hedgehog 3rd semen is available from Heather Cunningham. I think Genetic Enterprises handles those straws as well. The same with Brambledel Redberry Prince straws.

I'll go and do some research on Moomin Posh now.

Okay, I've found some progeny of Moomin Posh in NZ.

There are two registered bulls; Pohutukawa Posh Nosh 2908 other parent is Rangeview Crystal - 2158 and Pohutukawa Too Posh 2 (2907) other parent Rangeview Saphire - 1645.

There are four females listed. Bentfords own 2, Crofter Mains have 1 and Te Kahu has 1.
