Welcome to the 116th edition of Ranching.com – the leading cattle management resource for a community of 96,000+ ranchers and farmers.

🐂 Protecting Your Future Herd Investment - Health challenges early in a heifer’s life can have long-term impacts on her ability to stay productive in the herd. Staying ahead of disease, nutrition and management at each stage helps protect your investment and build stronger, longer-lasting cows.

🧬 Genomics Business Shift - Neogen is divesting its genomics business as part of a broader strategy to focus on its core food and animal safety operations. The move, tied to its sale to Zoetis, is expected to expand genomic tools and data capabilities for producers while reshaping the cattle genetics space.

🌾 New Grazing Agreement - A new federal grazing memorandum of understanding aims to improve coordination between agencies and reduce red tape for ranchers using public lands. It focuses on streamlining permits, improving communication and expanding tools that help producers manage grazing more efficiently.

🧪 Bulls and Trich Risk - Bulls are often the weak link in controlling trichomoniasis because they can carry and spread the disease without showing symptoms. Regular testing, managing bull age and controlling exposure are key steps to protect herd fertility and avoid costly open cows.

🌍 Bridging Grazing Gaps - From Mongolia to Montana, the cattle industry is focusing on improving access to tools, knowledge and networks that support grazing communities. Strengthening these connections helps producers stay resilient, share ideas and keep working lands productive for the next generation.
