    Good podcasts - would be good to have insights into Semex outside Canada / US and what’s happening on the farms and the genetic gains farmers are achieving.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 52: Dr. Lohuis Tells Us What's New With Methane
Q: What are the practical implications for farmers and the supply chain?
The trait is designed to be neutral to milk, fat, and protein, making it easier for farmers to adopt without sacrificing production, and incentives from retailers and processors are likely to accelerate adoption.
Episode 52: Dr. Lohuis Tells Us What's New With Methane
Q: Can you give us a little bit of information on that new research?
The new research aims to validate that the genetic tool works by comparing breeding values with actual methane measurements across multiple validation sets, including Canadian cows and European collaborations, showing consistent patterns that high methane efficiency cattle emit less methane.
Episode 53: Celebrating 35 Years with Brad Sayles
Q: What advice would you give to somebody just starting out in their career, a young person?
Brad advises starting early, taking initiative, not waiting to be told what to do, embracing lifelong learning, and continuously building skills and industry knowledge.
Episode 58: Catching Up with the Boviteq Summer Interns
Q: What are your guys' main responsibilities as Boviteq Beef interns?
Their main tasks centered on educating audiences about Boviteq and the IVF process, promoting the Boviteq brand, and engaging in extensive, face-to-face outreach to potential clients and partners.
Episode 58: Catching Up with the Boviteq Summer Interns
Q: Let's start with some introductions. Can you each share your name, where you're from, your background in the beef industry, where you've attended college, and what your future plans are?
The interns introduce themselves, share their rural and college backgrounds, and outline future contracted roles with Boviteq, highlighting a path from student to beef sales specialist and ongoing involvement in the industry.
