Transcervical insemination has evolved to become an efficient breeding tool since its beginning in the 1970s. Joshua Trumble, DVM discusses a study conducted by theriogenologists at Ohio State University which looked at using semen and sedation types to predict pregnancy rate and litter size.Watch the video version of this presentation here.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined for the fourth time by Patricio Muñoz, Ph.D., associate professor of blueberry breeding and genomics and the Endowed Chair of Horticulture Crop Breeding at the University of Florida. When he's not shaping the future of blueberry breeding, Muñoz also serves on the USHBC Council as the alternate public member. He's an experienced plant breeder with involvement in multiple crops and cultivar releases whose research focuses on creating cultivar development at a faster and more efficient pace. Muñoz also has a deep understanding of the berry global market.“The products that we are developing now … are the ones that are going to come in 5 to 10 years from now, and in that moment we need to do even more differentiation … like how do you stack them with other traits? I mean, can you make them crunchy? Yes, we can. And you'll see them soon, hopefully. Can you make them larger? Yes, we can. Can you make them healthier? Yes. Can you make different colors? Yes.” – Patricio Muñoz, Ph.D. Topics covered include: An introduction to Muñoz and his work. An exploration of the strategies and traits Muñoz and his breeding team focus on. Muñoz's perspective on global demand and emerging blueberry markets. Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas. Today you'll hear from Mario Ramirez in Mexico and Luis Vegas in Peru. This was recorded on January 22, 2026.

This episode's guests were speakers on the Joint ADSA-CSAS Breeding and Genetics Symposium:Dairy Welfare—Breeding and Management Strategies at the 2025 ADSA annual meeting. Jessica's talk was titled “Herd Sustainability Index: Using milk recording data to evaluate dairy herd sustainability.” This index provides a national percentile ranking benchmark for producers relative to sustainability from DHI data. The index evaluates ten indicators in four major categories: longevity and culling, feeding and production, heifers, and health. (2:51)Dr. Vasseur's talk was titled “Improving welfare through inclusive innovation: The story of WELL-E.” This inclusive innovation delivers data-driven solutions with and for the Canadian dairy industry by integrating stakeholder and domain knowledge with cutting-edge tools and methods of the improvement of animal and human welfare. (4:48)Dr. Vasseur talks about the development of the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle, which was published in 2023. This most recent code of practice included recommendations and requirements for more opportunities for movement for dairy cattle, particularly those in tie stall environments. Dr. Vasseur's lab has conducted research in this area to help dairy producers with possible modifications of stalls and other recommendations to improve cow comfort. Jessica describes her master's research in tie stall modifications. The guests go on to talk about how often cows in tie stalls bump into their stall, some proof-on-concept research looking at doubling stall size, and recommendations for cow comfort improvements in existing tie stall operations. (6:53)Dr. Vasseur discusses the relationship between cow comfort and longevity. She also talks about the realities of converting a tie stall barn to a free stall barn. (20:12)Jessica describes the indicators used in the Herd Sustainability Index in more detail. A minimum of six tests in the last 12 months with 50% of the cows being recorded are needed to calculate the index for a farm. Seven of the ten HSI indicators are required for the index to be calculated. She goes on to explain how producers can see their index compared to the rest of Canada as well as historical change in their index, and details an incentive program for high-indexing and most-improved herds. (24:07)Dr. Vasseur talks about cow comfort and welfare comparisons among intensive dairy production countries. She envisions the development and implementation of technology to allow for more automation and reduced observer bias of processes such as lameness evaluation. (30:30)So what is WELL-E? Dr. Vasseur gives some background and details about bringing together animal scientists, computer scientists, and stakeholders to develop cutting-edge tools for the improvement of animal and human welfare. (33:24)Jessica talks about her PhD research in dairy cow behavior and pasture management. She conducted a study where pastures were mowed the morning of grazing compared to conventional grazing. Cows in the mowed pastures spent more time ruminating and drank more water, but no differences in milk production or milk components were observed. (38:02)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

What are the biggest shifts in genetic gain and traits over the last few decades?  Glenn's Groupies can rejoice!  Glenn Longabaugh is back with Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies.  As you may know, Glenn is the resident Agronomist for Premier Companies and has been with us a number of times, and he's the best person around to be sharing the top three things we should be thinking about when we're selecting hybrids.Jeff, Sal, and Glenn will dig into the various changes that have taken place in the agriculture realm with regard to traits and genetic gain.  You'll also learn about how marker-assisted breeding (MAB) has been the primary driver behind many of the advancements that have taken place over the last couple of decades.  If you're curious how to navigate this next year when there's likely going to be a shortage in your preferred product, you are not going to want to miss this episode!  “It still amazes me… what these plant breeders have been able to put together, and even when we have not ideal weather, these things still yield.”

Breeding season is underway on the ranch, and this year our breeding decisions look a little different than they have in the past. In this episode, I'm sharing what's happening right now at Dry Creek and walking you through how we're thinking about herd genetics, maternal traits, and long-term direction—not from a textbook perspective, but from real-world experience. I talk through why we sold our longtime Boer buck, how that decision reshaped this year's breeding plan, and why we're intentionally slowing down instead of rushing to replace him. We dig into how past experience with show goats changed the way I think about first kiddings, mothering ability, and how breeding decisions can either set does up for success—or make their job harder from the start. You'll hear how and why we're using Spanish bucks across the Boer herd this year, what we're watching for in the resulting kids, and how data collection—not trends or pressure—is guiding our next steps. I also share some of the longer-term options we're considering, including terminal crossing, maintaining two distinct herds, and what market demand may influence moving forward. This episode isn't about having the perfect breeding plan. It's about making thoughtful decisions that keep options open, protect herd function, and align with the season of ranching and life you're actually in. If you're raising goats, planning future breeding decisions, or trying to balance improvement with practicality, this episode will help you think more clearly and move forward with confidence—even if you don't have every answer yet. In This Episode, I Cover: A quick ranch update and what winter conditions mean for daily management Why we sold our Boer buck and how genetic concentration affects breeding decisions How past show goat experience reshaped our approach to first kidding does Using Spanish bucks to improve mothering and functional traits The pros and tradeoffs of slowing genetic progress for long-term herd success What a terminal cross is and why we're considering it How market demand, data, and personal goals influence herd direction Key Takeaways: Breeding decisions should support function, not just appearance or speed A doe's first kidding experience is important for long-term doe success Slowing down can preserve options and prevent genetic dead ends Data collection beats trend-chasing every time It's okay to move forward without having every future decision locked in Related Episodes: 22 | What Is the Perfect Meat Goat?

Today's podcast is extra special because we're joined by our good friend, Kat Pippitt, from Standing Stone Kennels. Kat has spent years refining their whelping process to ensure the best possible result for the dogs, the breed as a whole and for the families who accept their GSPs into their home. Kat is an absolute wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to this sort of thing and she tells it like it is. If you're considering having pups with your dog or you're looking for a breeder, we have some things you NEED to consider to help make the best decision possible. Enjoy the show and take notes. Here's a few highlights from the show: Ethics of breeding and health clearances for your dogs Breeding dogs: there's a lot of ways to get this done What happens after the breeding and during the ~64 day gestation period? What do you do with the dog, when can you confirm pregnancies, should you do x-rays or ultrasounds... why? Ok so it's time for birth... what should you do to prepare, what tools do you need, how many of those tools, what to plan for, when to act, what drugs to consider, c-section vs natural birth vs emergencies. Then we discuss single pup litters vs big huge 101 dalmatian litters Hooray, the pups have been born! What do expect during the first week, super pup training and the 8 week period while they're in your care.

For Episode 164, JP sits down with Doja Pak and Rusty, the Duke of Erb for a deep, no-nonsense conversation about what it really takes to build a cannabis brand that lasts.This episode dives straight into the importance of genetic IP — why owning your genetics matters, how it protects your brand, and why that foundation is becoming non-negotiable in today's cannabis industry. We talk about the power of being fully vertical, from breeding and cultivation all the way through to finished product, and how control at every step leads to consistency, quality, and long-term success.We also break down the first season of breeding and hunting at their new farm in Nevada City, where real work is happening. Rusty walks us through key breeding terminology like F1s, F2s, and beyond, and explains why they prefer hunting and breeding with regular seeds over feminized seeds when it comes to building true genetics.The conversation expands into where brands are headed as cannabis continues to go worldwide, and why the game has changed. Smoking for fun isn't really a thing anymore — now it's about R&D, quality control, and pushing the plant forward every single run.This episode is technical, honest, and rooted in experience — real talk for anyone serious about genetics, breeding, and building something with real weight.⸻

Sometimes you think you know exactly how a litter is going to unfold and then your cats remind you that they have their own plans. After one disaster litter I was sure the next one would be smooth. It was not. This morning turned into absolute chaos and I am sharing the story while it is still unfolding because every breeder has had a version of this moment. If you have ever had a queen surprise you or throw your plans into complete disarray you will feel this one in your bones.

Christmas is the one time of year I finally slow down enough to reflect on whether my life and my breeding program are actually in alignment with the dreams I have for my family. In this episode, I'm digging into the idea that breeding should be a "bringer of good things"—whether that's financial freedom, family vacations, or simply the ability to be a more present parent. I truly believe that struggle is not proof of integrity, and it's time to stop being a martyr for your program if it's currently causing more resentment than joy. Join me for a year-end "gut check" as we evaluate what breeding cost you this year versus what it gave you, helping you decide if the scale is truly in balance. Every program requires a custom approach to success, and I want to help you design yours so that your breeding business finally supports the life you've always envisioned.

Amy Rutherford on Smooths, Bred-By Success and Preservation Breeding [caption id="attachment_14897" align="alignleft" width="961"] Amy Rutherford winning Best Bred By Exhibitor at AKC National Championship with Wager.[/caption] Today's episode brings you a rare conversation with someone who does not say yes to interviews very often. Amy Rutherford joined host Laura Reeves for a holiday visit and the timing could not be better, fresh off her Best Bred-By Exhibitor win at the AKC National Championship with her Smooth Fox Terrier, Wager. For breeders, exhibitors, and dog show fans, this conversation delivers real insight into what it takes to build a program that lasts. From a childhood dog show moment to a lifetime in terriers [caption id="attachment_14896" align="alignleft" width="356"] Rutherford with one of her foundation Smooth Fox Terriers.[/caption] Amy's path started early. Her parents were horse people who also kept Australian Shepherds before they were AKC recognized. A winter trip turned into a defining moment when the family got snowed in and visited an AKC dog show. From the stands, young Amy watched Smooth Fox Terriers in the ring and knew she wanted that life. The journey was not immediate. Her first breed was Airedales, which taught hard lessons about grooming, structure, and realistic expectations. Eventually, she saved money and purchased Smooth Fox Terrier puppies that both finished quickly and became group winners. That early success did more than build confidence. It created a foundation and one of those early bitches still anchors the pedigree behind her dogs today. The handler apprenticeship that built a career Amy's handling career developed the way the best ones often do, through years of real work. She spent summers helping professionals and then committed to a full apprenticeship with Eddie and Leslie Boyes. She stayed for nine years, learning the daily realities of conditioning, presentation, animal husbandry, trimming and the logistics that define show life. [caption id="attachment_14894" align="alignright" width="278"] Rutherford showing Dover, Ch. Aimhi Type Cast, at Westminster Kennel Club.[/caption] That apprenticeship is a major takeaway for anyone interested in becoming a professional handler. Amy explains that experience builds skill and it builds a network. When she went out on her own, she had the credibility and connections that make the difference between surviving and thriving. Showing different breeds and winning with controversial dogs One of the most valuable parts of this episode is Amy's honest discussion about stepping into breeds that are not part of your original comfort zone.

As the year comes to a close, it's natural to start thinking about what you want next from your cats, your breeding program, and yourself as a breeder. In this episode, I'm sharing a real end of year reflection on what I've seen throughout 2025 and why so many breeders feel unsure when it comes time to plan ahead. I talk about• what I've learned from travelling and being part of the global cat fancy• what I see again and again with new and developing breeders• why overwhelm and second guessing are so common• how confidence actually builds over time• and why knowing where you're starting matters more than any plan you make I also share how this year forced me to reassess everything personally and professionally, and why having the right support makes such a difference when life gets complicated. This episode is for you if• you want to do things properly• you feel unsure about your next steps• you're tired of guessing• you want to feel calmer and more confident with your cats Before you plan next year, work out where you are now.

Ferg shares his thoughts on genetic gain in the sheep and beef industries. He has often said that we should be seeking to achieve a minimum of 2% genetic gain, but the top operators we deal with here at neXtgen Agri are consistently achieving 3-4%. Ferg explains how they've achieved that with the use of selection accuracy and the compounding effect of disciplined breeding decisions over time.Ferg also talks about what that genetic gain actually means for each farm and what traits we should be looking at to optimise performance. Some traits benefit all farms, no matter the location (things like worms, dags and feet), and others that are more system-specific.  Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited.

This episode features Dr. Jocelyn Johnson with STgenetics, a speaker at the 2025 ADSA Breeding and Genetics Symposium: Creating Carbon-Friendly Cows and Leveraging Omics to Improve the Sustainability of Dairy Production.Dr. Johnson's presentation was titled “Advancing dairy sustainability through feed-efficient genetics and genomics: Research insights and applications.” She gives an overview of her talk, which focused on data STgenetics has collected and how the company has applied that data to help their customers be more sustainable. She goes on to describe some of the residual feed intake research they've conducted in dairy cows. (4:20)STgenetics has invested in feed efficiency technology and has shown that selection for improved feed efficiency is correlated to a lower carbon footprint. Dr. Johnson talks about the heritability of feed efficiency compared to other traits we select for in the dairy industry.  (8:16)Dr. Pralle asks Dr. Johnson if STgenetics is measuring emissions from cows in their research. The company has partnered with Texas A&M to measure methane emissions in heifers divergently selected for feed efficiency. They found that more efficient animals produced less methane. Since that pilot project, STgenetics has purchased equipment to measure emissions at their own research facilities and has collected 2-3 years of data on beef, beef on dairy, and Holstein populations. Dr. Johnson emphasizes that the relationship between methane emissions and high milk production is somewhat of a balancing act. (11:29)The group discusses feed additives purported to decrease methane emissions and the differences in rumen microbiomes between high and low efficiency animals.

Breeding season success doesn't start when the buck goes in—it starts weeks earlier with intentional management decisions around feed, body condition, mineral, and water. In this episode, I'm walking through how we prepare our goat herd for breeding season on our ranch, and why flushing is less about grain and more about timing and rising energy intake. I explain how our does typically come off pasture somewhat thin due to declining forage quality and demands of lactation, how we use a gradual hay-based recovery phase after weaning, and why we don't rush into flushing too early. You'll hear how we intentionally set the stage so that a modest energy increase 2–3 weeks before breeding actually produces a favorable reproductive response. We also dig into forage-based flushing using high-quality hay, why mineral intake is often the hidden limiting factor in breeding success, and how winter water access quietly controls feed intake, mineral consumption, and overall herd health. If breeding hasn't gone the way you expected in the past, this episode will help you evaluate the foundational pieces before blaming genetics or the buck. In This Episode, I Cover: What flushing really is—and why it's primarily an energy strategy, not a grain strategy Why flushing needs to start 2–3 weeks before breeding, not the day the buck shows up How our does come off pasture thin from limited forage and lactation—and why that matters Our post-weaning feeding strategy to gradually rebuild body condition without overdoing it Why flushing works best when does are moderate condition or slightly thin, not fat How forage-based flushing works with high-quality hay like sainfoin Why intake—not just feed quality—determines whether flushing is effective The critical role of mineral intake in estrus expression, conception, and early pregnancy Why bucks are often overlooked in mineral programs—and how we handle that The trace minerals most closely tied to reproductive success How winter water access limits feed and mineral intake Why water is often the most overlooked nutrient in breeding prep Signs that water intake may be holding your herd back reproductively How consistency—not perfection—sets the stage for a successful breeding season Key Takeaways: Breeding success starts weeks before breeding with intentional preparation Flushing works because of rising energy intake, not because of grain Gradual post-lactation recovery sets the stage for an effective flushing response High-quality forage can support flushing when intake truly increases Mineral intake—not just availability—can make or break reproductive success Bucks need mineral too, even when feeders don't cooperate Without adequate winter water, goats won't eat enough feed or mineral Water is often the limiting nutrient in cold-weather breeding preparation Consistency and timing matter more than aggressive feeding Related Episodes: 14 | When Should My Goats Kid?

In this episode, we talk about the six foundational principles of strain creation in animal breeding, crucial knowledge for anyone serious about starting or improving a breeding program. Whether you're breeding birds, livestock, or other animals, understanding these principles can help you develop strains that not only represent their breed, but are genetically strong, healthy, and productive.  We start by giving a brief recap of the six principles, Consolidation, Maximization, Fixation, Duplication, Stabilization, and Isolation—and explain how they work together to form the backbone of a successful breeding program. The Principle of Consolidation: Learn how outcrossing and crossbreeding can increase genetic diversity and introduce desirable traits, but if used improperly, it can weaken your strain.  The Principle of Maximization: Discover the power of selective breeding and how to amplify specific traits to continuously improve your strain. The Principle of Fixation: Explore how inbreeding and line-breeding can lock in desirable traits for consistency and reliability. The Principle of Duplication: Understand the importance of creating a strain that is predictable and uniform across generations. The Principle of Stabilization: Find out how to maintain the integrity of your strain, while improving key traits through careful selection and culling. The Principle of Isolation: Learn how to safeguard your strain from contamination, disease, and outside genetic influences to maintain purity and health. We encourage you to put these principles into practice in your own breeding program, whether you're starting from scratch or looking to refine an existing strain. Tune in to discover how mastering these principles can elevate your breeding efforts. This episode is packed with actionable advice, so be sure to grab a notebook and take notes!

You clicked looking for something frosty and jolly… and ended up with Nazis, incest lore, horny mall teens, and a chain-smoking Santa Claus. Welcome to ELVES (1989) — the low-budget Christmas horror movie that dares to suggest Hitler was experimenting on elves to create a master race.In this episode, we break down the cult holiday nightmare starring Dan Haggerty (Grizzly Adams) as possibly the grizzliest Santa in cinema history. There's only one elf (it looks like a goblin), it kills with a steak knife, Santa smokes in every scene, and the movie somehow aired on broadcast TV despite profanity, nudity, and some truly cursed plot twists.Along the way, we cover:Why Christmas was once outlawed in MassachusettsEvil elf mythology & Nazi Christmas loreThe most uncomfortable mid-movie reveal you'll ever seeWhy Dan Haggerty is way too good for this movieAnd how the ending accidentally completes the evil prophecyThis is B-movie Christmas chaos, and you kind of need to see it once — if only to believe it exists.Rating: Binge never… but experience required.30 Days FREE Huludays https://tr.ee/JohnnyHulu
