Sexed or gender sorted semen has now been commercially available for beef and dairy cattle in the US for several years.

Advancements in artificial insemination (A.I.) for beef cattle have come a long way in the past few decades. One reproductive technology with the potential to improve management and bottom lines even further for producers is sexed semen.

From a year working on a farm, Chris progressed to four years as a manager and then as a couple with two young kids they took on a lower-order sharemilking contract for four years, followed by seven years in a 50:50 contract.

Artificial insemination (AI) is a proven way to improve genetics. It is also an efficient method to front-load when calves are born during the calving season, which helps increase the weaning weight average of the whole herd.

How do you maximize performance, feeder calf value and end-product quality while simultaneously achieving the ideal in maternal performance, adaptability and efficiency? This is a challenging task and probably the most important long-term decision facing many commercial producers today.

An Estrus Synchronization Protocol for Postpartum Beef Cows

Advances in artificial insemination (AI) technology help increase conception rates, and research continues to make progress in AI protocols.

University research has shown that the stronger the intensity of a cow’s estrous (heat), the better chance she has of holding her pregnancy.

Focusing cattle breeding to produce animals with maternal or terminal traits is advantageous to beef producers depending on their situation.
