This episode is part two of our two-part chat with Jon Wright. In the last episode, Jon shared his journey to create the highly regarded Blue-E line of cattle and how it became the most feed-efficient herd in the world.

In this episode, Jon dives into the importance of EBVs and how farms can use this information to develop more effective beef production systems. He also discusses how his collaboration with ag tech developers and researchers from the University of Sydney will aid farmers in reducing on-farm emissions.

Local Land Services Mixed Farming Officer, Claudia Hinrichsen, continues her chat with Jon on the farm “Coota Park".
