I spent the weekend at the Spring Dairy Expo in Columbus, Ohio, and was treated to one of the best dairy cattle shows in the Midwest. Along with serving as a “celebrity” (no, really, they actually called me a celebrity – WOW!) omlette chef and as ring announcer for the Junior All Breeds Showmanship and Ayrshire breed shows, I interviewed some of the top experts in the Dairy business.

One of the more interesting discussions was about the ability to gender select our calf crop with sexed-semen from Select Sires. I spoke with Bruce Smith about the concept, and you can listen and learn: Bruce Smith Discusses GenderSelect (5:40 mp3)
