Jackson County ranks 56th in the state for number of cattle at 14,000 head and 58th in cash sales from cattle at $5,745,000, making cattle 58% of Jackson County’s agriculture revenue. With this many producers and cattle in Jackson County, a need for an Artificial insemination certification class developed. The Jackson County Extension Agent worked closely with the Jackson County Cattlemen’s, University specialists, and Select Sires to plan and implement an Artificial insemination class. The class was held at the Wilderness Trail Area beef facility in Laurel County and lasted 3 days. Here producers learned protocols for estrus synchronization and techniques for artificial insemination. Twenty three producers overall and Six producers from Jackson County became certified Artificial Insemination Technicians. These technicians can now improve herd genetics and increase desired traits, decrease calving season length, allowing the sale of uniform groups and earning more profit. These producers are also certified to artificially inseminate cattle for other producers as well. With 6 Artificial insemination technicians in this county, the use of artificial insemination will increase, leading to increased profits for many producers and genetically superior herds throughout Jackson County.
