New number- try it out! You never know, I might just answer it too!!

Bishop Repro has a new phone number!
(573)416-1715

It seems the days of keeping up with my phone have long surpassed me. I hold steady at around 90 unread messages (plus however many read but only half responded to) and 110 new voicemails. Our team has been working since the beginning of the year to find a system that will work for us and for our clients, and we are beginning to implement systems to be able to help answer your questions.

There are currently SIX of us with access to the number above, and as long as we remain fully staffed, we will have a staff member assigned to this number during weekdays from 8am-3pm.

We are implementing policies to help ensure that responses are timely and uniform, and look forward to hearing from you! While our summer ultrasound schedule is full, we are currently scheduling:
-Fall herd work for September and October (3 h minimum)
-Haul in BSE dates (Sept 9 afternoon, Oct 26 afternoon)
-OPU Collections (every 2 weeks beginning Sept 8th)
-Conventional Flushes (9/10, 10/7, 11/7, and 12/3)
-Fall Transfers (on farm 30 head minimum)

Coming soon - Fall haul-in transfer dates

I look forward to seeing you this fall! -Brianne

We know there are a lot of colors around here, but we'll handle that part. As breeding season slowly comes to a close, bring your semen and embryos to us for safe, consistent protection. Let us take the stress out of storage so you can have peace of mind knowing your genetics are protected year-round.

Balancing herd work with ET work is hard, but it keeps us grounded. We see the dreams and the visions become reality from the top down. We see the females that go into commercial herds and how they perform. We see the bulls at work and the calves they are producing. We see their feet at BSE checks twice a year. We stay updated in current health protocols and know what issues local producers are facing. We feel the stress of the markets with them but also celebrate the big wins. Im proud to know our local market, producers, and buyers! These steers are staying nearby for now at least!

I always joke that bad luck is really just poor preparation. I’ve hit a pretty good run of unfortunate events in the last few months but watching this video reminded me of the amazing opportunities that I had at MU and how lucky I was to be in the right place at the right time. The protocols that you find in the back of every semen catalog have been developed and tested by the research and extension teams at the University of Missouri, and the students involved have taken their research and experience to producers to make a difference in big ways!

A new column made its debut in the March 2026 Missouri Hereford News!

“Veterinary Voice,” written by Dr. Brianne Bishop, brings practical veterinary insight to Hereford breeders and cattle producers. In this first installment, Dr. Bishop takes a closer look at embryo technology and how tools like embryo transfer are being used to advance genetics and improve herd progress.

We’re excited to introduce this new feature and look forward to sharing Dr. Bishop’s perspective with our membership in future issues.

“What bull are we using on this flush?”

“The answer is Marvel until I say otherwise”

🤣 we always double check, but the answer hasn’t changed yet.

🔷️The wait is over! All of the guess work is done. Marvels first calf crops have hit the ground and they are as impressive as we have seen. We had high hopes for what we thought Marvel could do and looking at his rookie calf crop he has blown our expectations!🔷️

✅️They have the look, stoutness, power and structure!

✅️Calves ranging between 70-80 Ibs at birth.

✅️Feel free to give any of the owners a call with questions on Marvel!

🔥A must use sire for the 2026 breeding seasons!🔥
