I am also a stud stock Angus breeder. For those unfamiliar with stud bulls, the Angus Societies around the world produce estimated breeding values to assist buyers on the likely value associated with heritable traits like growth rates, marbling, ribeye area etc. This WAS done primarily with raw data collected by producers like me. In more recent times this is increasing reliant on "genomic" predictions, produced by big data associations from "snp's" which are DNA markers of some kind. (No one can "read" DNA.) These are conducted by companies like Zoites, owned by Pfizer, and Neogen, major stock owners Blackrock and Vanguard. The cost to producers like me is a tick over $50 per animal, with all sale bulls, and stud cows and heifers being genomic tested. This is incentivized by the usual means, Angus Australia gets a cut, and staff have a career path moving to the providing companies. Now I am not suggesting this is all BS, but I wonder as to the accuracy for many traits and the actual science behind this. As a stud producer this an increasing cost to us, and clients rely upon these numbers in their selections thus increasing and decreasing the value of stock sold. I think many would love to see deep dive on this. I also wonder if these genomic predictions will be used to manipulate the cattle breeds (all breeds have this), in some way associated with the climate scam.
I would love to know more about this, is it a cash cow for big pharma?
Will it graduate to humans? Your genomics say you NEED this vaccine?
The money grafting opportunities are endless!
How much is real? How much is BS?
Also are any animal vaccines (huge industry) beneficial? That's a huge topic on it's own!
Agreed.
Where are you based?
Are you using regenerative techniques?
South Australia, learning regenerative practices every day.
Once your awakening it is impossible to go back!
I am looking to partner with a regenerative rancher based in America soon for an interesting project.
Glad you are learning every day!
This is an integral part of freeing ourselves from this tyranny.

Thanks for the good work, and God bless.
