The breeding program for your herd affects the future direction and profitability of your business.

The Breeding EDGE is designed to assist producers to develop a breeding program or improve the existing one. It uses reproductive and genetic knowledge and technologies to achieve desired production targets.

The Breeding EDGE package has been customised for producers in northern Australia.

The workshop consists of six modules:

  1. Examining your current operation
  2. Reproduction issues
  3. Genetics
  4. Breeding objectives
  5. Selection
  6. Herd management

What you will get from this workshop

The workshop package consists of the three day workshop, a follow-up day (approximately three months after the workshop).

The workshop uses an interactive style, building on the participant’s knowledge.

Materials provided include technical manual, workbook and references.

The workshop deliverers are drawn from a team with substantial practical experience in cattle fertility and applied genetics. Each deliverer is experienced with on-farm issues and has had close involvement with the research covered in the workshop.

During the workshop you will:

  • Work through the steps involved in developing a successful breeding program
  • Gain a thorough understanding of reproduction and genetic principles
  • Develop skills that can be applied on farm
  • Evaluate the reproductive and genetic options that best suit your situation
