By Jackie McCarville, Alison Pfau, Heather Schlesser, Ryan Sterry, and Angie Ulness, UW-Madison Division of Extension – Dairy Program Educators

To help Wisconsin Dairy Farmers get the most current and up-to-date research information, the UW-Extension Dairy program has developed the “Reproduction Roadshow.” This roadshow is an update on UW-Madison dairy reproduction research, covering heifer reproduction, sexed semen, the high fertility cycle, and more. The roadshow features Dr. Paul Fricke, Professor and Extension Specialist in Dairy Cattle Reproduction, and Dr. JP Martins, DVM, Ph.D. from the Department of Medical Sciences – School of Veterinary Medicine UW- Madison.

We want to thank Parnell for sponsoring the Reproductive Roadshow this year.
