AI Series: Using Artificial Insemination to Educate Wyoming on Breeding Livestock submitted by Kim Fry, 4-H Youth Development Educator, Campbell County; Amanda Hitshew-Small, 4-H/Natural Resources Extension Educator, WRIR; and Chance Marshall, Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Educator, Fremont County.  In Wyoming, there is a strong passion among citizens in the cattle, sheep, and goat areas. On average across Wyoming 4-H, there are over 950 cattle, 975 sheep, and 725 goat members. In many counties, the number livestock members have increased which has in turn, increased members breeding their own projects. In this two year project, Wyoming 4-H and Extension Educators will host classes to educate members about the science and processes of artificial insemination of cattle, sheep, and goat. Classes will include gestation cycles, breeding nutrition, DNA and genes, AI process, and blood testing and ultra-sounding. Participants will have the opportunity to go through this educational series and end with their own animals being bred. Funds are requested to assist in bringing high education to the participants with a skilled technician. Part of the funding will go toward one educator becoming trained in Laparoscopic AI.
