Genetics Day
With Rob Havard of Phepson Angus and James Rebanks
A low-input system needs livestock that thrive on forage with little supplementary feed and few routine medicines. That takes the right genetics.
This day builds a genetic selection strategy for your own farm: selecting for fertility, spotting the hard-working cows that pay the bills, visual appraisal, why epigenetics matter in low-input systems, sourcing the right seed stock, and breeding your way to lower costs.
