Your bulls represent 50% of herd genetics. Sending them out if there are underlying issues takes you out of the game before it even starts. This webinar will discuss the value of a bull soundness evaluation (BSE) before the breeding season and how this data can help maximize bull power for your specific operation and goals.  

Speakers: Dr. Roy Lewis, DVM, and Ontario beef producer Brian Whitwell, First Line Angus

Part 3: Keeping Production Data to Improve the Whole Supply Chain – Insights from Experts Across Canada

March 22, 2023, 7:00 PM MT

Your sector is one piece of the puzzle that enables putting beef on the plates of Canadians. The information available from each sector has key implications for others in the industry, yet there are limitations to accessing this data at times. Join us for a panel discussion and Q&A focused on collecting and sharing data to improve the entire beef supply chain, from seedstock, cow-calf to feeding, and processing to delivery of a high-quality product.  

SPEAKERS: TBA
