I would call the bull studs to verify.  The first number indicates the stud that collected and packaged the semen.

ABS is good about answering questions. If you go to ABS global there is an email and you can send the codes to them. If any of the bulls are theres they will reply back. They have been a big help!

Thanks for the help everyone, I now know what about half of the semen is.  If any one has more info it would be appreciated.

I would call into Nichols Cryogenetics and see how many of them they have. That would be the quickest and easiest, and you will be sure to have them right. 515-965-1551
