A MERGER between two major players in the global beef genetics industry will address the ‘final frontier’ in hybrid genetics says an American seedstock producer who toured farms in the UK last week including Yorkshire.

As Leachman toured farms around the country last week, including Low Farm at Gerrick, Moorsholm between Saltburn and Whitby, he said the merger has created “the world’s first large scale beef genetics breeding business in the world”.

“Beef is the final frontier” says Leachman adding that every dairy cow in the country is sired by a top 100 bull whereas suckler herds are, on average, sired by a 50 per cent ranking bull giving scope for potential if suckler herds were made up of daughters of top ranking sires and were then mated to top one per cent ranking bulls.
