Cattle producers, we need your help!
Researchers with the Oklahoma State University Department of Animal and Food Sciences are conducting a survey to assess the current reproductive practices of beef cow-calf producers. With special interest in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as artificial insemination and embryo transfer, this study aims to quantify and analyze ART utilization as well as explore the barriers in its adoption and implementation within beef cow-calf operations.
We invite you to participate in our survey questionnaire and optional follow-up interview and/or operational observation. The survey questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes of your time to complete. Participation is completely voluntary, and responses will remail confidential. To participate, you must be 18 years or older and own or manage a beef cow-calf operation. For full completion of the 10-minute questionnaire, you’ll receive one entry into a raffle for a chance to win 2 paid registrations to NCBA CattleCon 2027 – one for you and a guest.
We believe this information is invaluable in further developing extension education programs so we may continue to adopt, enhance, and innovate industry methods, especially as our production resources are continuing to diminish.
Thank you for your considered participation, as we deeply appreciate any feedback you would be willing to provide.
