About this episode
In this episode, we focus on Member's Bull Picks and the thinking behind sire selection in today’s dairy systems with Wayne Taylor. We explore the key criteria breeders use when selecting bulls, including production, type, functionality, and long-term herd performance.
The discussion highlights how strategic mating decisions and the use of genomics are shaping breeding programmes, along with the growing role of beef genetics within dairy herds.Listeners will also gain practical insights into aligning bull teams with farm system goals and managing genetic progress over time.
Whether you’re refining your breeding strategy or just starting out, this episode offers valuable advice and real-world perspectives to help you make informed decisions and maximise the potential of your herd.
