Basic Information:
Students will travel to Clark, Missouri, to participate in a two-day school focused on learning how to artificially inseminate beef cattle. Each session combines hands-on experience with classroom instruction, running from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm both days. Participants are encouraged to bring extra clothes and shoes, in case their original outfit gets dirty. The cost to attend is $600 per person, with a discounted rate of $575 per person available for groups of two or more registering together. A $300 deposit is required before the school begins, with the remaining balance payable either in advance or upon arrival. Snacks, drinks, and a catered lunch will be provided each day. Class sizes are limited and tend to fill quickly, so early registration is encouraged. Upon completion of the course, students will receive a certificate of completion and a 10% discount on their first order of Cattle Visions semen priced at $50 per unit or less. (Different discounts may apply for higher-priced bulls; supplies and clearance semen are not included.

Classroom instruction will cover a comprehensive range of topics essential to understanding and practicing artificial insemination in beef cattle. Students will learn about the history of the artificial insemination industry and gain a foundational understanding of female bovine reproductive anatomy. The course will include a display of the reproductive organ tract and live cow palpation to enhance anatomical familiarity. Practical training will involve semen handling techniques, semen tank maintenance, and proper A.I. gun loading procedures, followed by live cow artificial insemination practice. Additional topics will include estrus detection, an introduction to the estrous cycle, and an overview of heat synchronization protocols.

A.I. SCHOOL TESTIMONIALS
Megan - Ohio
“It has been such a fun and rewarding calving season knowing I had a hand in the breeding (pun intended!) With that, I want to say ’thank you’ to Cattle Visions for the training and preparation that made me ready for a successful breeding season.”
Jason - Missouri
“I enjoyed the entire course. You guys did a great job in presenting the information to us. It was really nice to go over a classroom section and then go straight to the cows and use what we just learned.”
Tyler - Nebraska
“I really enjoyed how hands-on the course was. I feel like that really boosted my confidence being able to palpate and AI as many cattle as my arm could handle in every session. I really liked how as a small producer I was given the opportunity to be part of an experience like this. Many times we are simply viewed as unimportant to the rest of the industry and not paid attention to. I felt like the team is committed to making sure everyone can AI when taking this course. I like that my questions were answered without me feeling like an idiot. Jared seems like a pretty cool and knowledgeable guy.”
