Herd rebuilding after drought - Ep06 - Brenna Grant

Today’s guest is Brenna Grant, research manager at Canfax. Brenna and her team spent some time looking at the realities of herd rebuilding which may be necessary after an event forces a higher-than-normal culling rate. She explains how your herd re-building strategies will not only have a very real impact on your bottom line and could lead to some tricky cashflow situation s but can also affect the running of an operation for many years, depending on how heavy the cull had to be, to make it through the pinch point.
