This week’s featured video was published by Angus TV. The video features an interview of Dr. Patsy Houghton, who started Heartland Cattle Company, McCook Nebraska, which focuses solely on developing and breeding replacement heifers as a service for ranches across the U.S. Dr. Houghton is an expert on heifer developed systems for artificial inseminating on a large scale. While most ranches don’t develop truckloads of heifers, the core principles she recommends apply to anyone who develops weaned heifers for A.I. or natural breeding before entering the mature commercial breeding herd. Watch the video to hear Dr. Houghton break down the key management strategies of replacement heifer development.
