Time to meet more of the team!

Dr. Zeb Duvall grew up in Greensboro, Georgia, on his family’s dairy and poultry farm, which later transitioned into a commercial cow-calf operation. This shift introduced him to Dr. Randall and Matt of Ashby Genetics, sparking his interest in cattle genetics and reproduction.

He earned degrees in Animal Science and Dairy Science from the University of Georgia in 2011, then went on to complete his DVM at UGA’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2015 through the Food Animal Veterinary Incentive Program. After graduation, Zeb began practicing as a bovine veterinarian in Georgia, focusing on reproductive medicine.

In 2016, he started performing conventional embryo flushing, freezing, and transfers, later expanding his expertise in 2019 to include OPU and in vitro embryo transfer services across the Southeast.

Since joining Ashby Genetics in 2021, Zeb has continued to provide embryo transfer services throughout the southern region.

Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Katie, and their family and friends. As well as attending an occasional sporting event, Go Dawgs!

Fun fact: The first embryos Zeb ever transferred were gifted to him by Matt and Dr. Randall the day they met!

Your best genetics shouldn’t be limited by traditional breeding. IVF allows you to multiply your top animals and create more opportunities for progress in every generation.

Our next spotlight for meeting the team, Matt Switzer!

​The daily operations at Ashby Genetics wouldn't be the same without Matt! His 21+ years of industry experience and dedication to client success make him a cornerstone of the AG Team.

​A native of Bridgewater, VA, and a proud Virginia Tech alumnus, Matt joined Ashby Genetics (formerly Ashby Embryos) as an embryologist in May 2004. Over the years, he has specialized in the collection, preservation, and transfer of bovine embryos.

​In his role, Matt is instrumental in helping producers achieve their breeding objectives. He also serves as the primary point of contact for client communications, scheduling, data entry and inventory management.

​Outside of the lab, Matt resides in Lynchburg, TN, with his wife, Rachel, and their four children. He enjoys spending time on the lake, supporting his children’s sporting events, and cheering on the Hokies.

Feeling incredibly thankful for another week of beautiful embryos and doing what we love to help make an impact in our client’s lives.

New year, new team intros 🙌🏻

There’s only one place to start — with the legend himself, Dr. Randall Hinshaw, DVM.

Randall is a graduate of the University of Georgia. After veterinary school, he joined Ashby Herd Health Services. In 1983 he collected his very first donor cow.

Fast forward to 1995, Randall's focus turned exclusively to embryo transfer and advanced reproductive work. That decision led to the launch of Ashby Embryos — now known as Ashby Genetics.

Randall has served clients in 16 states and Puerto Rico, and we’re proud to have him leading the way.

When he’s not being called into action, Randall enjoys spending time with his wife, Linda, their three daughters, and eleven grandchildren. And if you really want to win him over… plan a fishing trip 😉
