In this episode of Badger Dairy Insight, we hear from Dr. Paul Fricke, Dairy Cattle Reproduction Specialist for Extension and UW-Madison, and Dr. JP Martins, Department of Medical Sciences for the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. Moderated by Ryan Sterry, Regional Dairy Educator, the group has a conversation about optimizing the use of sexed and beef semen in dairy herds, managing heifer growth and reproduction, and optimizing re-synchronization programs in lactating dairy cows.
