Episode 30: Jon Wright - improving net feed intake for production, profitability and the planet
Jon Wright is a beef cattle seedstock producer from Woodstock NSW near Cowra. Being the 4th generation on the property, cattle have been in his blood from the start. Passionate about breeding and maximising production gains, he started the Blue - E line of cattle in 1997. Blue - E was a composite of 50% Shorthorn 50% Angus that has recently included Simmental cross composite genetics. He has developed a line of cattle that has included testing and selecting for feed conversion from its inception. Coota Park Blue - E have a fully automated feeding system (Growsafe -Vytelle) imported from Canada that records the intakes of each bull day to day.
Jon is passionate about innovation within the beef industry and how we can better reduce our costs of production. He is also a passionate grass producer, who is trying to reduce the impact we have on our surrounding environment. Jon is very concerned about how the beef industry will fit into the future of food supply in the world and very much encourages discussion in this area.
