At Reproduction Specialty Group (RSG), we are committed to advancing the success of our clients through precision-driven, veterinary-based reproductive services tailored to the needs of modern small ruminant operations. We partner directly with producers to enhance every stage of their breeding program—from foundational health to elite genetic development.
RSG operates with a global mindset and local dedication, proudly expanding our presence with the opening of our Ballinger, Texas facility in 2024. This strategic expansion has enabled us to better serve clients across the Southern U.S. and beyond.
In spring 2025, we opened the RSG Sire Collection Center—a state-of-the-art, USDA-certified facility at our Indiana headquarters. As the largest and most advanced genetics collection, processing, and storage center for small ruminants in the world, it represents our commitment to leadership in innovation and industry standards.
Our all-inclusive model is built on the Four Cornerstones of Success:
- Animal Health
- Nutrition
- Genetics
- Breeding Services
We believe sustainable genetic progress begins with a strong foundation. Let the RSG team help you unlock your program’s full potential.
Our History
Reproduction Specialty Group was founded by Dr. Tad Thompson and his wife Amanda in July of 2012 with the primary focus of developing a reproduction industry focused on small ruminants. Dr. Thompson began growing his knowledge of reproductive sciences in 2002, while in veterinary school at Purdue University. After three years of research Dr. Thompson was able to spend a portion of his final year of veterinary school working with Dr. Dave Osborn in Australia. It was following the conclusion of this training that Dr. Thompson first began providing services to the small ruminant industries. In 2007 JVC Genetics was formed as a division of a larger multi-species veterinary practice where Dr. Thompson split his time between equine sports medicine and small ruminant reproduction. In July of 2012 it was clear that a greater commitment to the small ruminant industries was warranted, resulting in the creation of Reproduction Specialty Group. Following the formation of Reproduction Specialty Group, Dr. Thompson has focused opportunities to expand collaborations with many of the global leaders in small ruminant reproduction in an effort to bring the most current technologies to the US market.
