Angus at Work

Bovine Congestive Heart Failure Update with Kelli Retallick-Riley

Angus Beef Bulletin Season 4 Episode 20

Herd health is a top priority for cattle producers. We don’t like to see an animal ill, let alone lose one. Losing a market animal right before it crosses the finish line is especially frustrating.

Bovine congestive heart failure (BCHF) has captured headlines in recent months, but have you heard about the research Angus Genetics Inc. is conducting to learn more about the disease?

On this episode of Angus at Work, we welcome you to listen in as we visit with AGI President Kelli Retallick-Riley regarding: 

  • The history and role of AGI related to Angus genetic improvements 
  • What BCHF is and its potential effect on the beef industry 
  • Current research being conducted by AGI and why producer involvement is important 
  • And much more!
