“Feed-out projects like North Dakota Angus University are a great way for producers to learn more about their calves’ performance compared to other herds,” says Karl Hoppe, NDSU Extension livestock systems specialist at the Carrington Research Extension Center.

Ranchers can consign steers to the program by contacting the Carrington Research Extension Center. Consigned steers must be at least 50% Angus genetics and weigh between 900 and 1,100 pounds at delivery. Consigned cattle will be delivered to the Carrington feedlot on May 26-29, 2026. https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/news/newsreleases/2026/march/north-dakota-angus-university-feed-out-to-begin-in-may

North Dakota Stockmen’s Association Seedstock Council webinar to focus on bull fertility

Bull fertility will be the focus of the featured presentation during the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association (NDSA) Seedstock Council Virtual Webinar at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 20. The Seedstock Council hosts a free, educational webinar via Zoom each fall for seedstock producers and their customers.

This year’s webinar will aim to answer the question, “Why do some bulls get cows pregnant more efficiently?” and provide other reports. Dr. Lacey Quail, North Dakota State University livestock management Extension specialist, and Dr. Saulo Zoca, University of Tennessee assistant professor and Extension beef cattle specialist, will tag-team the feature presentation, exploring the key factors driving bull fertility, the role of semen quality and the new tools helping develop fertility markers.

Quail is originally from eastern South Dakota, where she grew up raising sheep and cattle. As a graduate student, her research focused on the role of estradiol in pregnancy maintenance in beef cattle, as well as improving reproductive efficiency and profitability of beef operations through the use of reproductive technologies. In her current role at the North Central Research Extension Center, she develops and delivers livestock management programs across North Dakota while collaborating with Extension specialists and agents, research faculty, livestock organizations and producers.

Zoca’s work focuses on advancing reproductive efficiency in beef cattle by integrating applied and translational research with producer-driven Extension. His work has examined bull fertility from multiple angles, including the identification of s***m proteins and metabolites associated with fertility, the use of proteomics and flow cytometry to predict reproductive outcomes and the impacts of nutrition, management and herd health on pregnancy establishment and loss.

The webinar Zoom link is available on www.ndstockmen.org or by calling (701) 223-2522 or e-mailing [email protected]. Pre-registration is required.

The NDSA Seedstock Council works to promote the seedstock industry in North Dakota through the education of seedstock producers and their customers through planned programs, printed information, legislation and other means.
