The department is very excited about the progress of the Beefmaster herd and would like to thank all of the breeders that donated high quality genetics to our program.
The donated heifers were artificially inseminated the week of April 13 and then covered with a calving ease Beefmaster bull that was also donated to the program.
100 Beefmaster embryos were also donated to the department this past fall. Transfers of these embryos into recipient cows began the last week of April.
