A Clean, Healthy & Safe Environment    From northern Ohio, DeGraff Stables has relocated to historic Midway, Kentucky and has purchased Liberty Farm, formerly Stockwood Farm; home of Kentucky Derby winners and Thoroughbred Champions.
 Located on 230 acres, our focus is safe breeding and management of the horses placed in our care. Both mare barns are equipped with their own palpation chutes complete with foal holding areas, a fully networked and computerized laboratory and current state-of-the-art equipment. We are staffed with competent and caring individuals who do not believe that fertility and breeding is just a job. That we have a purpose; that purpose is the ‘art of breeding’.
 DeGraff Stables/Liberty Farm Equine Reproduction Center:
|
This farm represents the completion of Phase I of our aggressive renovations to convert it into one of the best advanced reproduction facilities available to the World-Class Champions and Champion producing Stallions that reside here for breeding to the phenomenal broodmares entrusted to our care.
You will find us in Midway, halfway between Lexington and Frankfort; the capital of Kentucky. We are only 15 minutes west of I-75 and just off of I-64. Our convenient location which have great access roads… place us not only in the heart of the rolling hills full of Kentucky Bluegrass, but also in the heart of horse country.
Surrounded by professionals dedicated to improving care of the horse, we are minutes from the highly respected medical and surgical care full-service equine hospitals of Rood & Riddle and Hagyard Equine Medical Institute. The Kentucky Horse Park, home to the 2010 World Equestrian Games and the graceful Keeneland Race Track are nearby as well.
About our farm and facility... Join us with our reproduction partners; Dr. Mike Harry and Dr. Jeremy Whitman of Equine Medical Associates from Lexington as we team together to provide assisted reproductive techniques for both mares and stallions. The center is equipped for and experienced in successfully managing mares for insemination with fresh, cooled and/or frozen semen. Complete embryo recovery and transfer services are provided on site. Stallion services include fertility examinations, semen analysis, shipped cooled semen and semen freezing. Our Ohio facility is USDA certified for shipments of frozen semen to not only the European Union, but Australia and New Zealand as well.
Mares and mares with foals are currently housed in two barns with 37 stalls, all 12 X 12 or larger. Many stalls are camera monitored and a new lighting system has been installed. We have over 26 paddocks and pastures that offer individual or group turnout, many with newly constructed run-in sheds for protection for our pasture boarders. All paddocks and pastures have automatic water units. The storage barn has two quarantine stalls in the event of need.
The stallions are housed in an 18-stall show barn of large, airy 14 X 14 stalls. Each stallion is carefully groomed, exercised and monitored daily. The new collection and semen processing center truly offers the benefit of consistent quality and improved efficiencies. Our goal is happy customers with pregnant mares! We are very proud of how our facility has grown and work daily to maintain a clean, healthy and safe environment for our animals.
