Success StoryBeef Genomics with Darrh Bullock
Beef Genomics with Darrh Bullock
Author: Emma Lee
Planning Unit: Estill County CES
Major Program: Beef
Plan of Work: Marketing, Diversifying, and Managing Local Agriculture
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
When I attended the Beefing Up Agent Success training, Darrh Bullock gave a Beef Genomics presentation to the agents that were present. Throughout the presentation, I realized that this information could be very useful to my producers and I invited Dr. Bullock to come speak at a Beef Producers meeting in Estill County. On May 9th at 6:00, Dr. Bullock presented the Beef Genomics presentation to the local Cattlemen and beef producers. Participants learned how to read BPD's, as well as breed their own herd to have the most desirable traits. Producers were very active participants, asking many questions and planning on how they can improve their farm. I was given much feedback after the program that producers would be able to use their skill of reading a BPD to make more informed decisions when purchasing bulls to improve their herd for generations.
