Beef on Dairy: Trends, Economics, and Genetics (Part 1)

Brad takes the mic solo this week to dive into a hot topic in dairy farming—beef on dairy crossbreeding. In this first part of a two-part series, he breaks down current market trends, semen sales data, and recent research on how beef genetics are being used in dairy herds.

Key highlights include:

  • The growth of beef-on-dairy crossbreeding and its impact on both the dairy and beef industries.
  • Market insights, including beef inventory trends and projected shifts in cattle slaughter.
  • The economics behind beef-cross calves—why dairy farmers are seeing higher prices and how this impacts profitability.
  • A look at breed selection: Is Angus really the best choice, or should dairy farmers consider other breeds?
  • Recent studies from Wisconsin and Penn State on how different beef sire breeds affect carcass quality, feed efficiency, and marbling.

Next week, Brad will share findings from Minnesota’s own beef-on-dairy research, including carcass data from five different breeds. Stay tuned!
