Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 108: Peter Godbolt _ Part A
Q: How do you balance using established, proven genetics with trying new sires?
You select a core of proven bulls to ensure predictable performance, and then trial a few new ones to expand the genetic base, always aligning choices with the client's goals and the specific production environment.
Ep 108: Peter Godbolt _ Part A
Q: What sparked your transition from a family farming background into a professional livestock agent role?
A combination of wanting to learn the commercial side before diving fully into seed stock, plus the opportunity to blend genetics with practical farming knowledge gained from growing up around Herefords.
Ep 110: Lucy Godbolt
Q: Are EBVs and genetics becoming a bigger part of cattle breeding?
Yes, many people now look at EBVs and genetics to decide which bulls to buy, making data-driven decisions central to breeding strategies.
Ep 110: Lucy Godbolt
Q: What makes a really good animal to you?
She looks for structurally sound animals with good walking ability, calm temperament, strong viability for profit through fertility and muscle, and overall easy handling.
Ep 110: Lucy Godbolt
Q: First up, what's your favourite breed of cattle?
Lucy says her favourite is Hereford because she's been attending Hereford Youth Shows since 2022, though she also likes Angus and Black Simmentales.
