Embryo transfer has long promised accelerated genetic progress, but with pregnancy rates sitting around 42%, producers are forced to ask hard questions about cost, risk, and return on investment. In this episode Cara Wells, founder and CEO of Emgenisys, shares how artificial intelligence is being used to analyze embryo viability before transfer. By capturing a brief video through a microscope and applying machine learning, embryologists can now receive a pregnancy probability score — helping improve decision-making, increase pregnancy rates, and better utilize valuable recipient females. Ag Tech Strategist Jarred Wareham explains why this may be one of the first truly practical applications of AI in the cattle industry — and how it could reshape embryo transfer programs for both registered and commercial producers.
Later in the show, Terrell Miller of CattleMax joins us to discuss herd management software, record keeping, and why organizing your cattle data may be just as important as improving the genetics behind your herd.

This little lady is out of one of our 100% Hereford mamas and sired by our homozygous black, Black Hereford bull — which means she is NOT an F1 or Black Baldy. She is a registered Black Hereford heifer calf with 86.5% Hereford blood.
Here’s how the math works:
Sire 73% + Dam 100% Hereford = 86.5% Black Hereford calf
We absolutely love the docility and mothering ability of our Hereford and Black Hereford mamas. Calm cows make working calves a smooth and enjoyable process — and that matters around here.
