Manage episode 327722639 series 2825391
If you could genetically select for replacements heifers with confidence knowing you’d highly improve the number of cattle in your herd that will perform in your environment… how would that affect your profitability? Edward Bork, with the University of Alberta is my guest as we talk about a research project underway to help ranchers customize their cattle to fit the type of landscape and forage resources. Are there genetic traits that can be identified to give that assurance to ranchers in their breeding programs?
