Abstract

Iowa State University’s McNay Memorial Research and Demonstration Farm is home to a 400-cow purebred Angus herd that has been selected since 1996 for increased marbling. Based on previous production records, the overall artificial insemination rate had fallen below the target percentage for Angus cows below 40%. The goal of the farm at this point was to complete an assessment on previous calving and breeding records and determine opportunities to increase the artificial insemination for the herd.
