Abstract
Profitability in beef cattle operations is driven by a cow’s ability to produce and wean a calf annually. The LSU AgCenter’s Cattle Pregnancy Determination Clinic is a one-day program that teaches multiple methods of pregnancy determination to assist producers in effectively making culling decisions and improving reproductive efficiency. This follow-up survey illustrated an 18% average increase in adoption of best management practices, with 52% of respondents reporting improved herd profitability. Strong participant feedback and widespread implementation underscore the clinic’s success and the importance of its continuation.
