Questions about cattle AI

Plain answers to common questions about artificial insemination.

What is bovine artificial insemination?

Bovine artificial insemination, or AI, is a way to breed cattle without keeping the selected bull with the herd. Semen from a chosen bull is placed in a cow at the right time in her breeding cycle.

Why use AI instead of a herd bull?

AI can give producers access to genetics from bulls they do not own. It can also support a more planned breeding program. The right choice depends on your herd and your goals.
