The Oklahoma State University Beef Extension team will host three Rancher’s Thursday Lunchtime Series sessions in February. The hourlong webinars will focus on implementing timed artificial insemination and selection programs designed to achieve a high level of fertility in commercial cow herds.

“These two presenters, both veterinarians, have established proven, data-driven reproductive management and selection programs. They are truly among the best in the world,” said Dr. David Lalman, OSU Extension beef cattle specialist.
