ABOUT DOGWOOD GENETICS
At Dogwood Genetics, we specialize in donor management. Each donor is unique, and each receives individualized attention. Custom-tailored solutions are what we do best.
In 1988, Greg Clements founded what is known today as Dogwood Genetics, LLC, on a simple yet profound principle: be a trusted partner to cattle producers by providing embryo transfer services.
Greg trained under Dr. Stan Coley for several years before establishing his practice. During the early years of Greg’s training, he remembers Coley asking the same questions repeatedly and continuing to ask questions until he had gathered enough information to feel comfortable serving the client based on his assessment of their needs.
Long story short, there is no cookie-cutter answer when it comes to cattle embryo transfer. There are numerous what-if scenarios, costs, and variables that can impact a situation.
With a passion for the cattle industry, Greg continued to build relationships and his business across the country, serving as a trusted partner for cattle producers as they made decisions in their breeding programs.
The Dogwood Genetics team continues this sentiment by helping producers navigate complex decisions. We understand that difficult choices are easier to make with reliable data.
That's why we're committed to providing you with data-driven insights to help you make informed decisions, whether you're planning for the next generation of your herd or addressing the immediate needs of which cows need to go to the sale barn tomorrow.
Dogwood Genetics provides the services of an embryo transfer program with data-driven insights to inform cattle producers' decisions, impact their operations, and maximize profits.
We're in the business of helping you make wise, strategic decisions that will best serve your cow herd and produce the cattle you need for your specific environment, customer base, and future goals.
