UW Extension to offer cattle AI workshop, breeding days
For youth interested in breeding their cattle, the University of Wyoming Extension will offer artificial insemination workshops in Campbell and Fremont Counties on Thursday, May 9, followed by breeding days later that month.
The May 9 workshops, led by UW Extension educator Chance Marshall and UW Extension beef specialist Shelby Rosasco, will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. at Extension offices in Campbell and Fremont counties. Topics to be discussed include nutrition, breeding selection, AI protocol and pregnancy testing.
