Breeding Stock

At Splendor Ridge, we have been selectively breeding our elk for good body size, confirmation, temperament and superior antler production for nearly 15 years. We were one of the first elk farms in Minnesota to begin using artificial insemination in 1996. Every year since then, we have been selectively breeding our elk cows with the best bull genetics in North America!

AI sires include:

Natural breeding sires

Most of our mature cows are A.I. bred and put in with a back-up bull 12 days later. All heifers are put in with bulls from our own elite bloodlines.

Our breeding bulls include 2 bulls which placed 1st and 2nd in the 2006 North Central Antler Competition and 2nd and 3rd place in the 2006 International Antler Competition in the 4 year old Velvet Antler Category!
