At-Facility Housing and Collection

Sterling Sire Services offers housing and collection services at our facilities located in Caldwell, Texas. If you would like at-facility housing and collection services for your sire, please reach out via phone or email to schedule. Prior to your sire coming to our facilities, please fill out the liability release and semen collection contract. 

Upon arrival, a Sterling representative will meet you to unload your animal and complete an initial exam. The initial exam will include a complete evaluation of the animals physical parameters including weight, body condition score, soundness on feet and legs, as well as having pictures of the animal taken for liability purposes. 

Your ram will be individually housed in isolation for a week as part of the biosecurity plan developed by Sterling. After this isolation period, the ram will be moved into its permanent housing pen where they will stay the remainder of their time at our facilities.

All rams will be checked at minimum twice a day. Animals housed with us will be transitioned over a one week period to Sterling’s ration. For individuals who struggle with fertility, Sterling has worked on a nutritional supplementation strategy that will be offered on a case by case basis.
