Breeding For Production System Efficiency webinar
Channel: Local Land Services NSW
Date: 2021-02-09

The North West Beef Extension Network is pleased to present our first webinar, Breeding for Production System Efficiency, with special guest Catriona Millen, Technical Officer with Southern Beef Technology Services.

"Livestock producers tend to be good at selecting traits that earn money, but have a tendency to overlook traits that influence the Cost of Production."
Catriona will discuss the ways in which beef producers can use genetics to select animals for improved production system efficiency.

This presentation covers efficiency from biological, economic and environmental perspectives, while also highlighting the genetic traits that are important for efficiency of the breeding cow and her progeny. Make your genetic investment into herd rebuilding count and join us as we ask, what makes an efficient cow and how can we build a herd of them?
