Common Beef Industry Questions
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, James and Chad are trying something a little different. Rather than make one topic the focus of the entire episode, they tackle some common questions that often arise with producers either new to the industry or looking to explore new options.
At one point James refers to a Beef Symposium presentation by Kristin Thompson from BCRC. The video recording of that presentations can be found at:
Records for Genetic Improvement - Kristin Thompson
There is also a podcast version of this presentation previously released on this feed on March 12, 2026.
