Stocking Rate - With Mark Ferguson neXtgen Agri
Hear Nigel and Mark Ferguson from neXtgen Agri on how Merinos are changing the game. Today’s ewes can be run at higher stocking rates and bounce back in condition faster than ever, lifting lamb survival to over 86 percent.
Nigel explains that decades of measuring and culling have paid off, turning invisible traits into visible progress. From predicting weaning percentages at scanning to stacking the one percenters, he says the last five years have taught him more about breeding sheep than the previous forty.

Industry Start - With Mark Ferguson from neXtgen Agri
Hear Nigel and Mark Ferguson from neXtgen Agri share their views on what drives profit in sheep businesses.
Mark explains that fertility and fast growth are the fundamentals. Without lambs on the ground there is no cash flow, and if they are not growing quickly the whole system becomes costly through extra feed and labour.

Turning Grass Into Money - This Time With Cattle, With Joe Kerin

What does a cow actually cost to run?

At Kerin Ag, every kilogram of utilisable feed has a value attached to it. That allows Joe Kerin and the team to measure whether an animal is genuinely paying its way.

In this episode, Joe joins Mark to discuss how putting a dollar value on each kilogram of grass they grow led them to choose Wagyu over Angus. As any Kerin would, Joe has done the numbers and compared Wagyu cows with larger recipient cows, based on the weaning weight of their calves relative to the kg of dry matter consumed by the cows. And, as predicted, the moderate-sized cow is far more efficient than the larger Angus X recipients.

Joe also discusses the role of genomics in Wagyu breeding. As they are a breed with a very narrow gene pool and are bred for carcass-related attributes, genomics is incredibly important, and Joe utilises it to its fullest.

Tune in to learn how to turn grass into money- this time with cattle.
