Selecting bulls for your operation’s genetic future is critical to your bottom line — but it takes more than an understanding of EPD’s (Expected Progeny Differences). Developing a strategic plan for your herd that evaluates the influence a sire has on everything from the reproductive performance of his daughters to the carcass quality of his terminal calves will increase your overall profits.
Join Kalyn Waters, UF/IFAS Holmes County Extension, for an interactive webinar discussion of case studies from beef cattle operations and sire selection strategies for each scenario. This one-hour webinar goes beyond the numbers and focuses on the outcomes of performance traits and their long term influence in your herd.
Case Studies will include:
- Replacement heifer retention
- Terminal sire herds with retained ownership to the rail
- Stocker and background calf performance
The webinar will be hosted on May 9, 2024 at 6:30 PM CST. To join the webinar live, and interact in the conversation or to receive a link to the recording please register by using the following link:
