Gold Creek Simmentals – The next chapter for Simmental genetics
Tom Sanson from Gold Creek Simmentals is focused on expanding the role of Simmental genetics in commercial beef systems, with the introduction of black Simmentals and the recent acquisition of the historic Rissington Simmental herd marking a significant step forward for the stud. In this episode, Sarah Perriam-Lampp talks with Tom about how the business has evolved, the thinking behind adding black Simmental genetics and how Gold Creek is combining phenotype, structure and performance data to build a more commercially focused offering for farmers.
