Beef Sire Selection for the Dairy Herd

By some estimates, fed cattle that include dairy genetics make up something in the neighborhood of 25% of the U. S. beef supply. With improvements in the utilization of male sexed beef bull semen, many dairymen are choosing to utilize beef genetics in an effort to add value to their calf crop.

If you are intrigued by the opportunities presented through the utilization of beef bulls on dairy cows, plan to join the OSU Extension Beef Team’s Al Gahler on March 10 to discuss and learn more about making beef cattle sire decisions for the dairy herd. Al will cover EPD’s and traits to consider to maximize the value and marketability of crossbred beef on dairy calves.

This virtual presentation begins at noon on the 10th and is free. Just pre-register at this link to attend: https://osu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Wk8Gb-GWQJipBkj96Q287Q
