I'm signed up, as is a neighbor. We'll leave at -0- dark-thirty Sat. morning, for the workshop that starts at 9:00 and runs to 4:00. "Sample topics" are: Bull Selection; EPD's; Heat Synch; Breeding Plan Development; Heat Detection & Record Keeping; Nutrition for Successful Gestation; Pregnancy Testing. I'm sure it will be informative.
My sis (she and her hubby are both AI certified and in OR) said to be sure to ask the instructor if this was a "hands on" workshop, and if so, we might want to take rain gear.
So, I asked: "Is this hands-on? Do I need to bring a change of clothes or maybe rain gear, or?"
The reply: "There will be some hands on with reproductive tracts, inside."
Me: "Inside a cow, or inside a building?"
It's in the building. No "real" cows attached. But I expect to go there and learn something more about something I know little about. And as a bonus, get to spend that evening with a niece I don't see often, over a killer spaghetti dinner and libations.
Just hope it doesn't snow . . . . I don't like driving in it, and the guys will be at home working on the chute/handling system.
Hope you all (all y'all) have a great weekend!!
