Description
For this week’s podcast version of the Let’s Talk Dairy webinar series, Stuart Childs, Teagasc Dairy Specialist, does some checks and balances in relation to breeding.
Stuart discusses the need to run a weekly fertility report to track progress and identify the cows not yet bred.
It is also important to make sure that you AI for long enough before releasing bulls and use high DBI bulls to generate high quality beef.
