BULLSELECT Workshops

Cattle producers purchase bulls on only one or a few days of the year, but the effects of their bull selection decisions will last for generations within their herd

With an increasing range of information available on sale day, selecting the right bull may seem a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. Through a mix of theory and practical demonstrations, our one-day BULLSELECT workshop educates attendees on how to utilise BREEDPLAN information, alongside visual assessment, to select the best bull for their herd.

The BULLSELECT workshop covers: 

  • Understanding the value of genetics
  • Interpreting and using BREEDPLAN EBVs and Selection Indexes
  • Using online searches to source the right genetics
  • Practical bull selection exercises using demonstration cattle, including a Mock Auction
