“The class exceeded my expectations! I
think the hands-on of the repro tracts was very helpful to learning
about the anatomy of the cow. Jon was a great teacher throughout the
course. He was able to answer all questions and concerns. He was calm
and able to guide us during the cow lab and able to keep students calm
and confident.”

“Being able to see and work with the
reproductive tract on the lab table was very, very beneficial. The heat
detection and synch time was very well spent. This class met all my
expectations and then some. I accomplished what I came here to learn,
AI’ing my cows. I feel very confident going back to my ranch
and picking up where I left off here.”

“With
the hands-on cow work having a small class
is a huge benefit. Two days was enough time. Physically being in the
cows much
longer would be tiring. Excellent program all the way around. Jon was
great. He
could see if you were struggling and helped a lot.”
