With bull buying season fast approaching, now's the time to refine your breeding objectives and make the best decisions for your farm business. Join us for a practical, hands‑on workshop designed to help you confidently assess genetic merit using eBVs, indexes, and physical traits.

Whether you’re 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. We will also use this workshop as an opportunity to update farmers on the Coast about the recently announced Dairy Beef Opportunities programme and what value you can expect from the programme in the future. 

Topics

Topics in this workshop we will cover:

  •  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. 

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!
