Click here to go to “Creating an Efficient Cow herd” the video that describes the story of the development of the Rennylea Cow Herd.
- Bryan Corrigan describes how he developed the Rennylea herd from a commercial base and always refers to commercial functionality as the basic selection criteria.
- The Breeding goal is integral to improving overall herd performance, and Bryan has had a long term vision for the herd which is fine tuned when new tools become available.
- Commercial returns are based on the amount of beef produced per hectare, rather than per head, and moderating cow size is integral to optimising returns.
- Measurement is a key tool in improving the hard to measure traits, the great success story for Angus cattle has been the improvement in carcase performance since measurement was introduced in 1998.
- Ruth Corrigan describes how recently, genomics has become a new tool to improve the accuracy of measurement at a young age, and the level of integrity and commitment of the Rennylea team.
