Ag class will be taught at NICC Calmar

NICC Calmar has begun accepting registrations for a three-day, hands-on Artificial Insemination – Bovine class.  The class is an intensive learning experience for those who wish to artificially inseminate their own cattle or gain experience to work for others.

The class will meet from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Tuesday, August 9th, through Thursday, August 11th, at the Dairy Center on Highway 150 south of the NICC Calmar campus.

Aaron Stalsberg, Regional Sales & Service Coordinator with Accelerated Genetics, Inc., of Baraboo, Wisconsin, will teach the course.  The class will cover all aspects of bovine reproduction, from anatomy and hormones, to heat detection. The students will also have actual insemination practice utilizing cattle from the Dairy Center.  Upon successful completion, Accelerated Genetics will present a 16-hour completion certificate.
