The Second way to obtain a Valais Blacknose *Embryo Transfer
Embryo transfer is the process by which a fertilized embryo (eggs)from a Valais is flushed (removed) from a Valais Ewe & then transplanted into suitably synchronized recipient ewes to establish a surrogate pregnancy. In other words, the egg is implanted into a surrogate/recipient ewe to carry the baby lamb for 5 month
