Beef producers and others in the industry had a chance to learn about genomics at this year’s Canadian Western Agribition. The Canadian Angus and Simmental Associations hosted a one day conference on November 12th, which featured several speakers and a panel to answer producer questions.
I sat down with Sandy Russell on Friday morning to get her take on how genomics can help the beef industry and find out about a couple projects the Canadian Simmental Association has been running. This week’s post will cover Canadian Simmental’s genomics projects, and next week we’ll take a look at the larger picture.
