Evaluating The Generations

The main discussion, in this episode, covers evaluating cattle across stages: calves can change dramatically, with Vince focusing evaluation around weaning and later, while others also like pre-weaning and 12–15 months for bulls; hair shedding is noted as useful. Success is framed functionally as fertility, calving on time, breeding back, and weaning a big calf, with integrity-driven culling for feet, udders, and open cows, and decisions influenced by resources and herd management.
