I think its fresh semen from Deerpark unless you are buying 50 plus straws when it gets sent out in a container.  But I am naturally grey, so it may be that I am confused.

Wow and the little tiddlers can stay alive that long.  I never was any good at biology. Thanks for the help.

  Thanks, that's the phone number I  have  but maybe I'm having a blond moment but how do they keep it frozen?

I have sent canine semen to Norway.  It is taken from the dog by the vet at this end, put in test tubes, assessed as to quality in the lab, put into straws, then into a container of dry ice, and couriered to the opposite vet school.  I had nothing to do - not even pay, as my friend in Norway paid everything from there.  We used Britbreed in Dalkeith near Edinburgh.  They used to specialised in sheep at that time - 2003.
