In the spring of 2021, Garth Ruff, Ohio State University Extension Beef Field Specialist, and Jerad Jaborek, Feedlot Systems Extension Educator at Michigan State University, hosted a three part webinar series on management considerations for beef sired calves from dairy cows. This second session on April 28 focused on beef genetics and sire selection for use on dairy cows. Speaker for this session was Chip Kemp of the American Simmental Association who focused his presentation on the unique metrics that must be considered when mating beef bulls to dairy cows. More specifically, Mr. Kemp discussed the virtues and challenges of the four primary beef breeds presently used in the beef on dairy model including Angus, Charolais, Limousin and Simmental.
