Multi-County Reproduction Management Workshop slated for May 16-17 in Campbellton
CAMPBELLTON — Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service offices in Atascosa, Bexar, Frio, Medina and Wilson counties will present back-to-back beef cattle reproduction workshops for producers on May 16-17 at the Tom Brothers Ranch, 770 County Road 412 in Campbellton.
Producers can choose either day to attend. The program will be offered from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days.
Cost for the workshop is $15, including lunch, provided courtesy of Capital Farm Credit. Lunch will be served both days.
“This is a rare opportunity for producers to learn about various aspects of cattle reproduction,” said Sam Womble, AgriLife Extension agent for agriculture and natural resources, Bexar County. “One of the things that makes this program unique is attendees are required to bring three to five of their cows for demonstration purposes. Producers should bring gentle cows that have been exposed to a bull over 90 days and possibly one open cow.”
Womble said presentations will include: Ins and Outs of Pregnancy Testing, Hands-on Anatomy of a Cow’s Reproductive Tract, Rectal Palpation and Estrus Synchronization Made Easy.
Space is limited and participation will be on a first come, first served basis. An RSVP is required by May 5.
For more information and to RSVP, contact the AgriLife Extension office in Bexar County at 210-631-0400.
