The Select Sires Podcast - Select Sires Podcast - Ep. 5 - Make Longevity Your Legacy

The benefits of breeding for the healthier, longer-living dairy cow is difficult to argue from an individual cow perspective, but how does it help the dairy farm as a whole? In this podcast, we discuss how this focus on longevity can impact your legacy, with a conversation on its real-world influence at Mystic Valley Dairy in Wisconsin. The dairy's owner/operator, Mitch Breunig, joins Select Sires Director of Research Dr. Bo Harstine alongside Senior Sire Analyst Kevin Jorgensen for this talk. Whether it's barn setup,  selection index use, added value or more, you can hear about it in this episode.
