AP,
I could phone you to ask this, but figured that I may as well put it to the board also. I have read in some of my American magazines about the ability to "chose the sex of your foal" when doing AI - i)at what stage is it done i.e. is it get 'em pregnant, test then pinch if not what you want? ii) How often is it done - it sounds reasonably new iii)cost and implications - will we see a dramatic decrease in geldings due to demand for fillies?
Question is based on very limited amount of straws being available from a stallion who has now been gelded and mare that was pregnant to him aborted last year.
Great pic of lavender btw.
