Breeder Education Committee

I am excited to encourage you to stay tuned and tune in to the SCWTCA for an upcoming and ongoing series.

Just a couple of highlights include:

•BREEDING LINES- Line breeding, outcross, development of a pedigree….

“ Any cattleman worth his salt will advise to find the best bull -who is out of the best cow”…..and more

•GETTING BACK TO SQUARE ONE- What is under the hair. The Wheaten is a square and moderate breed, free from exaggeration…..plus more

•STRUCTURE- The stripped down, peeled back version where anatomy and physiology meet…plus more

•THE HEAD, EAR, EXPRESSION- Ear size and placement as it relates to desired expression, proper head construction and how you can’t have one without the other.

For questions or suggestions regarding Breeder Education, contact Breeder Education Chair Shari Boyd at breedersed@scwtca.org.
