Expert Posts: 1611	Does frozen semen for a stud after being frozen ten or more years get harder to deal with motility wise?

Extreme Veteran Posts: 464	If you looked at any frozen sperm under a microscope, and compared it to fresh, you would wonder how it ever gets a mare pregnant. It always gets the job done though. The sperm should be fine in reality. What you have no assurance of, is how the semen was stored over that time. If it has been in your possession, and you know the tank didn't get low, then it's fine.
