Applied Reproductive Management for Cattle
Impact Reports
2011 Long-Term Objective Report:
The Sierra County Extension agent continues to work with producers on decreasing input costs while not sacrificing conception rates or quality of heats. As a direct result of extension recommendations, input costs associated with synchronization protocols have decreased by 30% in the past year.

2011 Medium-Term Objective Report:
100% of producers using advanced artificial insemination protocols in Sierra County are experiencing conception rates of 75% or greater in Sierra County. This figure meeting the medium term objective of improving conception rates by 25%.

2011 Short-Term Objective Report:
Strong relationships are developed and conversational reviews have been completed with 100% of all show stock producers in Sierra County.
All producers have a positive attitude and are receptive to extension recommendations. Approximately 75% of producers exhibit satisfaction with improved conception rates associated with recommended protocols and will continue using them. The remaining 25% have a positive attitude towards new protocols but general dissatisfaction with overall A.I. success rates and are considering returning to natural breeding.

Sierra C.E.S. suggests strong progress towards the completion of the long-term objective through the outstanding success experienced in the short and medium-term objectives. The plans future lies within an optimistic light.
During the first year 80% of all Sierra County producers were willing to work the Cooperative Extension Service. Of those producers previously mentioned, 100% reported an increase in knowledge and prefer the new protocols recommended by the agent. Furthermore, 75% of these producers reported an increase of 25% or greater in 1st heat conception rates. Adequate progress was made towards the completion of medium-term objectives.
