Have you ever wondered what we are looking at under our microscopes?🔬

Here we are looking at day seven IVF (In-Vitro fertilization) embryos. The "plural or clear" space will be the placenta of the calf. The darker area is the cell mass which will be the calf!🐮

We would love to chat how IVF could fit into your reproductive program.🤩

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the barn
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Jersey;
The feed was laid by the headlocks with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The heifers were nestled all snug on their pack,
While visions of calf grain danced in their heads.......

Wishing the very best to you and your family this holiday season. We look forward to working with you in the new year.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.🎅🤶

How lucky are we to be able to work with someone who strives for results, and has fun with us along the way!

Congrats, Austin. You are more than deserving of this title!🤩

Congratulations to our Employee of the Month… Austin!

Austin started working at Larson Acres during his senior year of high school and is closing in on 27 years at Larson Acres! He started by milking and moving cows and quickly became a herdsman, spent time in the shop and crops department, and eventually ended up at the heifer facility, after its construction as the Assistant Heifer Manager, and has held the title of Heifer Manager for 17 years!

Currently, Austin’s main responsibilities are reproduction and herd health at our heifer farm. Austin is also a big part of our embryo program and works very closely with the veterinarians from Sunshine Genetics Embryo Transfer Service. There are many reasons his role is important at Larson Acres, but he simply put it best, “the heifers are the future cows of Larson Acres”.

In Austin’s free time, he enjoys taking care of his own animals (pigs and beef cows) and attending pig shows. He adores his nieces and nephew, who he enjoys helping and spending time with!

Congrats Austin!
