He specialized in bovine reproduction, and worked with the Eisenhower Administration to bring the Charolais breed of cattle to the United States. He was a leader in research for artificial insemination, semen collection, semen storage, genetics and line breeding in the beef industry.[1] Early LifeDr. Hill was born December 13, 1922 in New Hampshire where he was raised on a farm. He began his schooling in a small one room school and chose to further his education at Middlesex University which is now Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass.

He completed his Veterinary training in the late 1940's at Colorado State University, College of Veterinary Medicine in Fort Collins, Colo.[1] Teaching CareerAfter graduation he joined the teaching staff at Colorado State University and developed a specialty in reproductive medicine. Here he was a leader in the field of theriogenology, a branch of veterinary medicine concerned with reproduction, including the physiology and pathology of male and female. He is recognized for his contributions to the profession by the American Veterinary Medical Association. While at Colorado State University he started the bull farm where he continued his research to improve bovine and equine artificial insemination, semen collection, semen storage, genetics and line breeding in the beef industry. He developed a curriculum in reproduction at Colorado State University hiring two doctors well known for their work in reproductive medicine. He left Colorado State University in the late 1950's to join the research staff at Armour & Company. He was also known for playing an active role at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colo.[1] Later LifeAfter suffering a severe back injury he was no longer able to work with large animals and moved to small animal medicine.
