Local Interest

Amid historic lows in the nation's cowherd, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln  is looking to help beef producers optimize heifer development and reproductive efficiency. The Great Plains Heifer Development program at UNL Haskell Beef Lab near Concord, NE aims to give producers game-changing data about their replacement females years ahead of data tracking at home. 

Connor Biehler, beef extension educator at Nebraska, and Kiernan Brandt, professional service technician with Trans Ova Genetics and former extension educator with SDSU, have a shared vision of optimizing and enhancing reproductive efficiency and heifer development.
