Ten years later, only those "foolish" farms survived the 2008 crisis. Today, we're repeating the exact same mistake with genomics at digital speed. This episode reveals why half your genomic heifers won't see third lactation, exposes the fatal flaw in TPI rankings, and identifies exactly where to find the bulls that will save your operation in 2026.

Key Takeaways:
