BCCS September Newsletter 2022

Slides from the presentation by Romy Morrin O’Donnell of Weatherbys Scientific
The Charolais-Charbray
International Annual General
Meeting and a couple of seminars
were held the next morning and
afternoon with mainly the voting
delegates from each country in
attendance. The rest of the group
were offered a walking tour of
historic York followed by free time
to explore the city on their own. I
have included some slides of the
presentations by Romy Morrin
O’Donnell of Weatherbys, who do
DNA and Genomic work in many
countries. Gavin Hill, of the Scottish
Agricultural College, spoke of the
challenges and solutions he sees
for the livestock producers with a
Charolais slant to what he feels the
breed in the UK needs to do. He
talked of beef cow numbers being
down, but dairy cows up being bred
to beef bulls, so beef calf numbers are
up.
