AHA focused on genetic improvement

The American Hereford Association’s (AHA) media event September 19-20 featured information about Hereford genomics, Hereford research projects and the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP). The highlight of the event was touring one of the NRSP test sites, Olsen Ranches of Harrisburg Nebraska.

In an interview with Brownfield, AHA’s chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, Jack Ward, discussed some of the research programs designed to document the efficiency of the Hereford breed (including feed intake) and improve the rate of genetic improvement.
