Fall beef breeding season is just around the corner. For many producers, this is the time to finalize your breeding decisions for next year’s calf crop if you haven’t already. Your fellow producers can be an invaluable resource when it comes to evaluating sire options and understanding how their progeny are performing in different herds.
In the beef industry, the use of sexed semen increases every year. It is typically used to generate more replacement females or increase the total number of steers in a calf crop for feedlot purposes. With more people incorporating sexed semen as a reproductive management tool in their herds, our team has received additional questions about it.
