Are we leaving money on the table with our breeding decisions? This week Wyoming rancher Jared Boardman (Wishbone Simmental) joins us for a business-minded conversation on cattle genetics and breeding decisions in today’s market. We step back and take a hard look at how many commercial producers select genetics based on the small percentage of replacement heifers they keep each year, while the majority of the calf crop is sold. Jared explains why that approach can leave money on the table and how thinking in terms of output, inputs, and profit can reshape breeding strategies. We also discuss terminal versus maternal focus, the technologies available in the industry that provide producers with more options, and how disciplined decision-making can help align genetics with how cattle operations actually make money.

Also, a conversation with Dan Leo (Apex Cattle) on Heterosis and their upcoming Production Sale.
