Gearld Fry bovine genetics guru
A rose is a rose is a rose, or so the old song goes. But is it? The more we learn, the more we become aware that every living thing is unique. While two roses may appear identical at first glance, a closer examination reveals hundreds of differences – many of them critical. While both are red, one can thrive in drier soil, while another is resistant to aphids. In both cases, the traits can be passed on to the next generation: they are heritable.
Full Throttle, registered BueLingo bull, herd sire
Genetic variability and inheritable traits are true for cattle as well. (You knew I was going to get to farming, eventually.)
And what bovine expert Gearld Fry has learned over many decades is that the bull plays a dominant role in setting the health, conformity and vigor of your herd, including the body features of daughter cows.
I hope you enjoy this Deep Roots Radio chat with Mr. Fry – his insights are powerful. It was recorded live in the studios of WPCA Radio, Amery, Wisconsin.
