CAIP Continuing Education Video- In-office educational video

Author: Casey Byrd

Planning Unit: Garrard County CES

Major Program: Beef

Plan of Work: Improving Agricultural Income

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Describe the Issue or Situation.

A farmer came into complete CAIP training video for continuing education credit, after watching the UK educational video on genetics within cattle, he shared that he had purchased a new bull to improve the genetics of his cattle. This farmer mentioned that he learned through our educational video that isolating the bull for the first month of ownership and limiting the water and feed helps to build a relationship with the animal while also making the bull more docile.


Describe the Outreach or Educational Program Response (and Partners, if applicable).

Department of Animal and Food Science, CAIP, and KY Farm Bureau

"Improving the genetics of our bulls, and making them more manageable for handlers will help us over the long term to have a better product for the community"
