"Mum's not angry, just disappointed" - Prof Wayne Pitchford on breeder herd productivity
Update: 2025-04-17
Description
Prof. Wayne Pitchford explains that the losses that occur in maternal productivity in southern beef herds often aren't disastrous, but there is still plenty of room for the 'one-percenters' to be addressed, making breeder herds as efficient as possible.
He steps through the reproductive cycle and the losses that may occur in each.
Through strategies relating to joining weight - and weight gained during joining - calving time and bull genetics, productivity and profitability opportunities can be realised.
