Ferg's thoughts: making a genetic plan and implementing it

from Head Shepherd · host Mark Ferguson

We started this podcast with three episodes of Ferg sharing his perspective about genetics. We thought it was time to hear more of his thoughts, a couple of years on. Whether you breed sheep, cattle or goats, this episode provides you with guidance and tips on setting a breeding objective (or genetic plan) and then implementing strategies to put the plan into action. It refers to a genetic planning document that Ferg has written, 'Your Genetic Plan'.
