I did not expect mistrust of feed additives to be another reason for genetic selection, yet here we are. Honestly, how has it come to the point where misinformation outweighs the science so easily? As a geneticist my heart goes out to the nutritionists today.

#Armidale is popping with festive cheer tonight. Happy holidays everyone.

Now for a highlight of the Efficient Beef Update. Steaks sourced from the Southern Multibreed Project.

Last but not least, Brad Walmsley updating us on Southern Multibreed at the Efficient Beef Update 2024

Tom Granleese is sharing the challenges of recording methane, especially on pasture. Another great presenter at Efficient Beef Update 2024.

Mette Madsen is our next speaker at the Efficient Beef Update 2024. Giving us a summary of The Genetic Evaluation of Beef Methane. Only the feedlot this year or we'd run out of time.

Next up at Efficient Beef Update 2024, is Malshani Samaraweera on Mature cow traits and efficiency.

Sam Clark kicking off the Efficient Beef Update 2024. Stay tuned for today's highlights.

I'm looking forward to the 'Efficient Beef Updates 2024' at UNE this Wednesday. I'll aim to post some of the highlights on beef methane genetics here. If you are attending the day, I'd be happy to have a chat with you.

I will be posting content about my work on sustainable agriculture using genetics. Currently that focuses on reducing methane emissions from cattle and sheep. If you have followed me here from Twitter, welcome. I hope this platform is the place for the scientific communication that we crave.
