# Boots in the Mud, Eyes on Clean Data: 25 Years of Livestock Field Studies
**Animal Health Insights Town Hall**
**Tuesday, August 25, 2026 | 10:00 AM CT | 45 minutes**
A clinical site, in most people's minds, is a clean room with a coordinator and a laptop.
A livestock field study is a feedlot in August. Or a ranch in a storm. The chute is running, the crew has a day job that does not pause for your protocol, and the first place your data lands is a notebook in somebody's back pocket.
Jonalee Meyer-Watkins has worked in that reality for 25 years. She's sat on the sponsor side, run a clinical monitoring division, formerly worked as a Clinical Associate at Argenta and is now an animal health consultant. She also markets cattle through video auctions, which means she can tell you why a producer agrees to a study or quietly works around it.
She joins Prelude CEO Tommy Jackson for 45 minutes of conversation and live audience questions.
**In this session, we'll cover:**
- What a field study actually looks like once you leave the tidy clinical site
- Where your data gets captured first, and where it breaks
- How teams protect data quality without slowing the operation down
- What it takes to bring a ranch or a feedlot onto a study
*Can't make it live? Register anyway and we'll send the recording.*
