To whom it may concern,
Montford Cattle Service is pleased to announce our 2026 artificial insemination school dates, taught by Jarrod Montford, owner and operator of Montford Cattle Service.
Jarrod is a 5th generation cattle producer. His family operation has been utilizing artificial insemination exclusively without the presence of a live bull since 1989 with conception rates frequently above 85%.
In 2014, Jarrod added the skill of embryo transfer to the family operation. They have managed a 45 day calving season for over 25 years and continue to use this practice.
Jarrod has been teaching artificial insemination classes to producers from around the world since 2017. He utilizes a hands on approach with reproductive tracks and live cows each day.
This three day course is combined with herd management tools and strategies that Jarrod has utilized, not only in his own practice, but with producers he has worked with to achieve reproductive success.
Jarrod has also cultivated relationships with businesses and industry leaders nationwide, some of who frequent these classes to bring up to date information and practices as guest speakers.
The three day AI School classes are held in Stephenville, Texas, Tuesday-Thursday, during one week a month.
