With fed cattle size continuing to rise, how can commercial cattlemen balance females optimized for their environment with the terminal traits feeders are looking for?
On this episode, our host Miranda Reimann visited with Ryan Rathmann of Texas Tech University regarding:
- Cow herd efficiency research
- How cattlemen can identify smaller females who are curve benders
- Tools producers have at their disposal to maximize potential
- And more!
