		Introduction: What We Do The Bakewell Reproductive Center is named for Robert Bakewell, the English breeder of the 1700s who created new breeds of farm animals by collaborating with neighboring farmers in order to have a large pool of animals from which to select desired traits.
		The Bakewell Center is collaborating in the same way with producers across the U.S. to create well-rounded, functionally and reproductively efficient animals that are exceptionally well suited to thrive in grass-based systems.
		Bakewell owns the donor cows from that flush and has located other excellent donor cows and is currently harvesting embryos and selling them in private sales.
