    Fullblood polled Blonde d' Aquitaine

    Good morning from Germany: We are about to wean calves out of the Canadian homozygous polled Blonde d'Aquitaine bull Rainier 11R and French Blonde d'Aquitaine cows.

    USA: A Ground Beef Nation. Challenge for breeding programs?

    Very interesting article. It confirms the complexity of the market. At the end of the day the only thing that counts is that your pockets aren't empty.

    USA: A Ground Beef Nation. Challenge for breeding programs?

    USA consumers eat more lean ground beef! The Rabobank statement is that between 1/3 and 1/2 of the animals should be raised primarily to produce ground beef. This is a shock for breeders because their breeding programs are based on producing choice and prime grade products.The question is what...
