Host:
Anne Lee, Senior Journalist, Dairy Country

Guest:
Dr. Jason Archer, Head of Genetics, Beef + Lamb NZ

 

Jason Archer talks to Anne Lee about the need for better integration of beef genetics into the dairy sector to create a more profitable and sustainable system for both dairy and beef farmers. He explains that tracking calf performance, genetics, and management practices along the value chain can help identify high-performing calves and ensure that value stays with them.

He highlights the need for stable markets and collaborative approaches between dairy and beef sectors, noting that success requires both industries to work together to make calf rearing economically viable year after year. Practical tools such as recorded bulls, beef semen, and improved data flow are outlined to support farmer decision-making and long-term planning.

The conversation also covers the potential for new opportunities within this emerging sector, including the benefits of lower carbon emissions for the final beef product.
