GRADUATE FEEDBACK
REAL RESULTS FROM REAL BREEDERS
Oh my, I have so many incredible things to say about both the AI and Pregnancy Testing courses I attended at the Host Farm in Wagga Wagga. I am so thrilled with the outcomes and I don’t think I’ve learnt so much in a week before! I’ve already told so many people about the courses and your team, and I’m really looking forward to coming back for more.
Hosting a course has been a fantastic opportunity for networking and connecting with other farmers. Conversations with both the trainer and participants have given us fresh perspectives on our cattle operation and management practices. I especially enjoyed witnessing those “aha” moments — both for myself and other students.
The main benefit to our farm gained from completing the AI course myself is that we can join our cows to the AI program whenever we want, day or night. Our farm uses sexed semen collars on our cattle. This means there is a precise time to achieve a higher success rate of pregnant cows. I learned the correct AI technique, including loading the AI gun, thawing the semen straw, and depositing the semen in the cow’s uterus.
