How do you improve pregnancy rates in your beef herd? This week on the Head Shepherd podcast, vet Shane Thomson joins @Fergenetics to cover bull size and soundness, AI, ET, IVF, disease prevention, sexed semen and where he thinks the biggest untapped opportunities in beef are.

The technology also monitors factors such as shade use and overall animal status, helping to identify individuals displaying abnormal behaviour or requiring intervention. We are keen to hear your thoughts on these developments via a short survey: buff.ly/7jXudgn.

Lambs tagged at marking are matched to their dam without the need for manual identification. The system goes beyond ewe-lamb identification by monitoring behaviours like grazing, ruminating, and movement to track liveweight trends and pasture availability.

How would you use advanced camera technology on your farm? Our sister company, Genesmith, is focused on advancing technology in the livestock industry and is developing a system that uses cameras and electronic ear tags to automatically link lambs to their mothers in the paddock.

How much do early body traits tell us about adult cow performance? @profpitch joins @Fergenetics this week on #HeadShepherd to discuss his recent work looking into exactly that, as well as fat distribution, fertility, feed efficiency, and how to select resilient, efficient cattle

This week on the podcast, @Fergenetics, @DarrenGordon22 and @Thrive_Agri are sharing some anecdotes from their time working on the Lifetime Ewe project with @Thommo_Murdoch - including some great yarns and lessons that left a lasting legacy for sheep management in Aus.

@Fergenetics 'Optimised heifer selection – Integrating genomic selection tools and on-farm assessments to maximise lifetime productivity' is a @meatlivestock Producer Demonstration Site project. Contact Georgia Pugh (E: georgia@nextgenagri.com M:+61 408 947 488) for more information.

This week on the Head Shepherd podcast, James Starling joins @Fergenetics to discuss the 'Optimised Heifer Selection' project, which focuses on combining genomic tools with visual assessment to improve heifer selection.

This week on the podcast, Shannon Donoghue joins @Fergenetics to talk about telling the story of wool. Raised on a sheep property and starting out as a wool classer, she now works for AWI and, more recently, has built a social media audience around sheep and fibre production.

neXtgen Agri's Dr Emma Pettigrew shares what's shaped her pathway into livestock genetics, now supporting breeders across the North Island lift their efficiency and get more from their breeding programmes. buff.ly/PjHisqB

Our next Optimised Heifer Selection PDS site is up and running, with a visit to the Gordons near Milthorpe, NSW, to score docility and body condition in their weaners. We’ll be following this herd (and our other PDS core sites) over on the neXtgen Agri Hub. @MeatLivestock

This week on the #HeadShepherd podcast, Allan Richardson shares his insights from 40 years of focusing on worm resistance, resilience and longevity. Allan also explains how prioritising these traits boosted flock performance and enabled a smooth transition into organic farming.

Great to continue to evolve our partnership with @weatherbyssci and collaborating with @angusaustralia to bring neXtPredict Heifer to market @neXtgenAgri beefcentral.com/sponsored/maki…

This week on the podcast, @Fergenetics shares his thoughts on the 25/26 ram sale season. This year, buyers are becoming more selective and data-driven (when data exists), and there’s also been a shift towards prioritising health traits. This, and more, on this week's episode.
