Series 2 Episode 2: Negotiating Cattle EID and Optimising Tag Retention

This week on Field Talk, our host Wallace is joined by Matthew Blyth. Matthew is an experienced innovator within the sheep and beef industry and is the founder of Blyth Livestock Advisory Services – BLAS.With his keen attention for detail and focus on continuous improvement, Matthew identified ways for measuring and monitoring grass performance to optimise livestock nutrition levels, and for monitoring livestock performance to improve farm profitability. He was one of the first farmers to embrace EID technology to collect key livestock data, engages a targeted approach to managing parasite challenges, and operates a rotational grazing system with a small herd of cattle. This holistic approach to managing the farm has proven that collecting and using data can improve decision-making and profitability.
