Bulls are on the agenda at Beef + Lamb New Zealand's Power of the Bull field day in Maniototo on April 24.
Organised by the Southern Districts Hereford Club (SDHC) in association with B+LNZ, the field day will include a tour of Patearoa and Stonehenge stations, starting at 10am.
Convener Daryl King, who is also chairman of the SDHC, said the main purpose of the field day was education and getting people to understand how to use statistics, data and other tools available for herd improvement and to produce a better quality beef.
Speakers will include Bruce Robertson, breeder and judge from the Duncraigen stud sheep and beef farm, near Wyndham, who will talk about structural correctness.
Stud breeder Laurie Paterson, of Waikaka, one of the first to introduce estimated breeding values (EBV) to the industry, will look at their use as a production tool.
