2022 Artificial Insemination Program

Author: Evan Tate

Planning Unit: Hancock County CES

Major Program: Beef

Plan of Work: Enhancing Livestock Management

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Each year Kentucky Cattle Producers strive to further their cowherd genetics.  The Kentucky Cost- share program and other university programs have allowed producers the financial help to adopt new practices. Artificial Insemination is a practice that is now readily available for producers to utilize.

The  Hancock County Cooperative Extension Service provides guidance and assistance to beef producers each year to conduct artificial insemination programs on their farm. This hands on program demonstrates the practice and allows the producers to better understand procedures. They also become more aware of the tools, facilities and supplies needed to conduct artificial insemination.

Initially, producers have noted that the practice is not as hard as once thought and they have agreed that it is a practice they will continue in the future.
