Embryos on Snow is an elite auction featuring some of the best genetics in the seedstock business. Sale entry is by invitation only, and genetics featured in the Embryos on Snow are exclusive to this sale offering. Historically, Embryos on Snow has acted as the “curtain raiser” event for the largest weekend at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado. With the cancellation of the 2021 National Western Stock Show, the 15th Annual Embryos on Snow sale relocated to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and was held in conjunction with the Inaugural Cattlemen’s Congress. The auction is built upon the embryo offerings from the most elite donor dams in the nation, in addition we offer a highly sought after, exclusive group of live genetic lots that will headline the offering. The selection process is backed by the knowledge and past success of the marketing team and the breeders who helped start it. Many successful programs have lined the foundation of this impressive annual sale. Over the past 16 years, genetics that have sold through the Embryos on Snow sale have evolved as some of the industry’s most influential individuals. Again in 2023, the 17th Annual Embryos on Snow sale will be featured in TWO locations! In an effort to maintain the greatest exposure for the breeders and the elite offering of genetics selling, the Embryos on Snow sale will be divided into two separate venues.
