On February 4, 2020, the Jackson County Agriculture and Natural Resources agent worked with the Jackson County High School Agriculture teacher to teach a Beef Artificial Insemination Class. The agent obtained six cattle reproductive tracts from a local slaughter facility. These tracts were taken to the Jackson County Highschool, along with several breeding kits and other items needed to artificially breed cattle. Ninety Students in three classes were taught the anatomy of the reproductive system, tools used for breeding, and breeding procedures. Then the students were moved to lab area to practice the art of passing a breeding rod through a Bovine reproductive tract. The high school agriculture teacher has since said that several students have shown interest in becoming certified Artificial Insemination Technician and a career in agriculture.
