We have a small herd with 15 baldy cows and heifers and as I have no data on them prior to buying the originals, I am interested in getting genetic data to decide who to keep and who to cull and them what to buy to build the herd.
I just fiinshed attending the Beef Cattle Short Course with my daughter and it was definitely fire hose learning.
But given it was my first one, I learned a lot about a lot of things.
Being a novice, I rely on people teaching me and watching youtube etc to research what options and results look like but I havent seen a ton of videos on genetic testing options other than Ingenity and Zoetis Inherit tests and havent found any videos showing the results on the Ingenity tests.
As I said, we are a very small starter operation, to be fair this is sort of a second career for me and I am planning to spend 4-6 years to build a small business that I can eventually pass on. but I know i have a lot of learning and work to do, any help and guidance would be appreciated.
I am doing this in parallel with a small wildlife ranch business for MLD Wihitetail and some exotics.
