Beef producers are invited to attend an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach program to learn about estrus synchronization strategies and the use of artificial insemination of beef cows.
We will cover some options for estrus synchronization, reference the protocols from the Reproductive Task Force and maybe experiment briefly with Iowa State’s Estrus Synchronization Planner," said Chris Clark, beef specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. "Then we plan to talk a little bit about the basics of artificial insemination. This is not an AI certification class with all the hands-on practice, but we will talk through some potential benefits of using AI as well as bovine anatomy and technique. It would be a good primer to get someone ready for an AI certification course."
The All Things Beef workshop, the final one in the Marshalltown series, will be held Feb. 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the ISU Extension and Outreach Marshall County Office, located at 2608 S 2nd St., Marshalltown. Please RSVP to Chelsea Llewellyn by email at chelsea@iastate.edu, by phone at 641-752-1551 or by text at 515-421-9345. There is no charge for the workshop. A light supper will be provided.
