This document summarizes the utilization of sex-sorted semen in cattle production. It discusses how sperm are sorted based on their X and Y chromosomes into sexed semen with 80-90% accuracy using flow cytometry. The sexed semen allows producers to limit offspring to a single sex. The document outlines the sex-sorting process and provides examples of its use in the dairy industry to produce more valuable female calves and in the beef industry to produce male calves. It also briefly discusses potential issues like calf welfare due to killing of excess male calves.
