“Reproduction is the most economically important trait for cow-calf producers,” said Beth Doran, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach beef specialist based in Orange City. “Thus, reproductive management choices and implementation are critical to profitability.”
The virtual program contains three segments.
The first segment focuses on cows and heifers and includes a presentation by Matt Perrier of Dalebanks Angus of Eureka, KS, discussing how reproductive technologies have changed his ranch.
In the bull segment, Tom Geary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service at Miles City, MT, will share research on nutritional effects and new measures of bull fertility.
The animal health and management segment will feature veterinarian Lee Jones of the University of Georgia visiting about conception failures and pregnancy loss in beef cows.
The two-day program will be 1-5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4, and 1-5 and 5:15-8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5.
The program is free with prior registration at:
The program is the effort of the Applied Reproductive Task Force which has the goal to educate beef cattle producers on sustainable reproductive management systems to maintain U.S. leadership and competitiveness in the world beef market.
A complete program schedule and information about continuing education credits can be found on the website BeefRepro.org.
