Nearly 30 ranchers and agricultural producers in the Ojinaga region recently participated in specialized training designed to improve cattle management and reproductive health, according to local news outlet El Sol de Ojinaga.
The training, provided by the Chihuahua state government’s Secretariat of Rural Development, focused on pregnancy diagnosis, cattle palpation and the use of ultrasound technology to evaluate bovine reproductive health.
The program was designed to equip ranchers with practical veterinary skills, particularly in rural communities where access to professional veterinary services can be limited by distance and availability.
Participants learned techniques intended to help them identify pregnancies and recognize potential reproductive health concerns in their herds. Such skills can help livestock producers make more informed breeding and herd management decisions.
The training took place at Rancho La Ciénega in the Polvorillas ejido, a rural agricultural community in the Ojinaga municipality.
Ojinaga Mayor Lucy Marrufo attended the event, thanking participants for their involvement and congratulating them on taking advantage of the educational opportunity.
The initiative reflects efforts by state and local officials to strengthen the region’s agricultural sector by providing producers with technical knowledge and resources that can improve livestock operations.
Cattle ranching remains an important economic activity in the rural communities of northern Chihuahua, where geographic isolation can make access to veterinary care and specialized agricultural services challenging.
Organizers emphasized the importance of cooperation and continued investment in rural communities, promoting the message of ensuring that no communities are forgotten.
