Ep 171: Fetal Programming – The Framework Powering Your Genetic Potential

Ron Scott (Purina) is my guest as we jump into a deep discussion on Fetal Programming.  We’ll explore a study done out of NDSU on heifer calves all the way from birth to a calving cow and the correlation between the nutrition, minerals, vitamins, their mommas received and their performance as 1st time mommas and their ability to re-breed. Fetal Programming is a subject that dove tails nicely into last week’s episode and it's a factor we really need to understand in our effort as ranchers to raising cattle that are profitable for our operation… which means cattle that are maximizing their genetic potential and staying in the herd longer. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #InheriteSelect #K-line #cowpunchercoffee #gelbvieh #purina #windandrain #rebreed #secondcalf #fetalprogramming #cowlongevity #nutrition #minerals
