This is a great tool for students in agriculture class to get hands on experience with the reproduction course. Reproduction can be long and drawn out for some students to learn but this makes it enjoyable and they understand exactly what is needed to get AI done correctly.
Cade F. –
As a young teacher, I am always looking for ways to engage my students in real life scenarios and give them practical information that they can take with them later on in life. The Bovine Breeder from Realityworks does just that and so much more. Not only do you receive the actual item itself with all of the necessary materials, you will receive a curriculum that walks the students through the basics and continues to build them up to the more advanced parts of the unit that they can then apply to the model. I would recommend this product and so many more from this company. Their customer service is top notch and the products are even better.
Nathan A., Agricultural Educator –
The curriculum helps a lot. It teaches all the stuff I would have had to compile anyway, and it’s all there, ready to use.
Katheryn C., Assistant Professor, School of Agriculture and Natural Resources –
I wanted to use the simulator to improve student engagement in the classroom. Overall, the students enjoyed having this tool incorporated in labs. It helped them learn.
Cecile Menees (verified owner) –
Really great hands on training tool!
Sammy Cox –
I have not gotten the chance to teach with it yet, but I feel it will add a great learning opportunity for students in my class.

The Bovine Breeder is an excellent tool for any agriculture classroom that teaches livestock reproduction and A.I. The breeder comes with lessons that can be used all by themselves or supplement lessons in an existing unit. The videos, powerpoints, and guides are very helpful to the students. I have used the breeder for two years now in my classroom, and all students have benefited from it. The breeder allows novice students to learn and experience students to keep updated on A.I. Living in North Dakota, it isn’t always easy to get to a farm because of weather or farmer’s prior commitments. With the Bovine Breeder, you can work it into your classroom schedule anytime. The Bovine Breeder has traveled around the state of North Dakota. We demonstrated it at the state capitol during CTE month, it was part of the interactive display at the North Dakota State Fair, and several other agriculture programs have borrowed it to use in their classrooms. The Bovine Breeder is a big hit!
