Analysts are predicting a shift in cattle breeding tendencies ahead of a herd rebuild. 

Dairy-cross cattle are becoming increasingly popular in the United States, with a third of cattle processed now coming from the dairy market.

Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with Global AgriTrends Market Analyst Simon Quilty about the trend and what it means for our livestock and dairy industries.
