Our Legacy

A.I. Diversified isn't just a business; it's a lifelong passion. Founded in 1997 by Kelly Butler on an elk farm in Nebraska, the company was built on a foundation of hard work and a deep respect for the animals.

​

I'm Chelsie McKenzie, and as Kelly's daughter, I've been part of this industry since childhood- learning the ropes behind the chutes and helping with synchronization programs starting at the age of seven. I began my professional AI career at sixteen, giving me 21 years of hands-on experience across the United States and internationally. Having worked alongside some of the best professionals in the industry, I've refined a specialized, low-stress approach to transcervical AI. Today, I'm proud to carry that legacy forward, helping breeders build elite genetic programs for Whitetail, Red Deer, Elk, and Reindeer.
