          If you are in need of Equine Breeding services such as teasing your mare for
          transported semen  Big Wheel Ranch can be of assistance.  We offer excellent mare
          care and our conception rates have been very good. An outstanding vet is available with
          ultrasound.  We can take care of receiving the shipment and inseminating the mare.
          Contact us for more details.  This service is limited if we have alot of mares to be bred
          to our stallions.

          Most of my breeding supplies are purchased through Equine Breeders Services. 719-372-6722
          Jack and Susan Dyer are very helpful.  I purchased their Breeding Mount and have been very
          satisfied with the results.  It is safe and helps me operate my breeding operation by myself.
          Yes, I am a small woman and I breed and collect two big stallions by myself.  I do all the inseminations
          myself.  I attended a breeding course through Texas A & M and had assistance with a good local vet
          to train my stallions.  It does take some money to get set up, but once set up it is well worth it.
