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
