If you missed Ferg's recent Hub LIVE, Breeding an efficient herd, you'll find the recording on The Hub!

Ferg talks about how to lift efficiency in beef herds without losing important traits like fertility, fat cover and 'staying power' in tougher seasons:

• What really drives profit on the ground?
• The role of fat cover in fertility and resilience.
• How to make better use of the data you already have.

Watch the recording on The Hub.

If footrot is costing you time, money and patience, then this is the Hub LIVE recording you need to see. We brought together Mark Ferguson, Herman Raadsma, Kim Kelly, Jim Walsh and Charles Douglas-Clifford to dispel the myths and deliver real strategies for managing footrot.

• Breeding for resistance: the genetics of footrot resistance, what's possible and how to make it happen.
• Best-practice treatment: MSD Veterinary Technical Advisors from Australia and New Zealand on what treatment actually works in each country.
• 'Genetics of foot health in Merinos' project in Australia: How you can get involved in this industry-led initiative to tackle footrot through collaborative research and on-farm solutions.

Watch the recording on the neXtgen Agri Hub.
