Join us at Nick and Penny France's property Okawa Poll Herefords for a practical, hands‑on workshop designed to help you confidently assess genetic merit using eBVs, indexes, and physical traits. 

This practical workshop is facilitated by Zoetis's beef genetics expert Amy Hoogenboom. Whether you are running a traditional beef herd or putting beef bulls over your dairy cows, this session will give you the tools to make smarter, more profitable breeding decisions.

Topics

  • How to set a clear breeding objective that fits your farming system. 
  • What to look for in a breeder that aligns with those goals. 
  • How to use genetic information to assess sale bulls. 

What to bring

  • Lunch is on us - in the afternoon we’ll head out to look at some real bulls and put your new knowledge into action. 
  • Dairy farmers welcome - bring your questions!
