In this episode, host Rebecca Arnott dives into the often-overlooked heroes of embryo transfer — recipient cows. Learn why selecting and preparing the right recipients is just as critical as managing donors, and how breed, body condition, temperament, and timing can impact the success of your program.

From breed comparisons (Angus, Wagyu, Holstein, Brahman and more) to synchronisation strategies and pre-transfer checks, Rebecca covers practical, research-backed tips to maximise conception rates and calf outcomes. Whether you're a beef or dairy producer, this episode offers fresh thinking — including the game-changing potential of “beef in dairy” IVP programs.
