Planning Unit: Hardin County CES
Major Program: Beef
Plan of Work: Agriculture Technology
Outcome: Initial Outcome
One of our UK Beef IRM Farm Program participants was interested in using sexed-semen in his beef herd AI program. Dr. Les Anderson was wanting to do some research involving this new technology on the farm with producers that retained ownership of their cattle, so comparisons could be made throughout the animal's meat production. Initial breeding began over Thanksgiving weekend in a forty cow herd. Cows have now been pregnancy check, calves born will be enrolled in our beef retained ownership program. All cattle involved have or will be electronically identified so the animal's can be traced through carcass data collection.
