The South Poll Podcast: Episode with Dr. Jordan Thomas

In this engaging episode of The South Poll Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Jordan Thomas, Assistant Professor at the University of Missouri. Dr. Thomas, a Missouri native and University of Missouri alumnus, earned his Ph.D. in Animal Sciences in 2017. His expertise lies in beef cattle reproduction, making him a valuable resource for anyone interested in sustainable cattle farming.

Dr. Thomas will be a featured speaker at the 16th Annual South Poll Field Day, scheduled for September 20-21, 2024. During the event, he’ll delve into two critical topics:

1. Cow/Calf Profit in a High-Cost World: Discover strategies to maximize profitability in today’s challenging economic landscape. Dr. Thomas will share insights on efficient management practices, cost-effective production, and maintaining healthy herds.
2. Artificial Insemination (AI): Explore how AI technologies are revolutionizing cattle breeding and reproduction. From predictive modeling to precision insemination, Dr. Thomas will discuss how AI can enhance genetic selection, improve breeding outcomes, and optimize herd management.

I’ve crafted a podcast description that highlights Dr. Jordan Thomas’s expertise and the exciting topics he’ll cover in the upcoming South Poll Field Day.
