Concluding the programme with AHDB, Jamie Butler will provide insight into&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;the genetic improvements he has made and the impact on the profitability of the business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-teams="true"&gt;The evening is hosted&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;in collaboration with &lt;a href="https://www.nmr.co.uk/" target="_blank"&gt;National Milk Records (NMR)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as they hold their Hampshire Herds Competition presentation evening and farm walk.&amp;nbsp;This is an annual event celebrating local dairy farming excellence across Hampshire and recognising its top-performing herds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A guided farm walk will explore this pedigree Holstein herd, with a focus on how the adoption of genomics has contributed to the farm's performance and development, including a presentation from our Genetics Manager Dan Pitt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We hope you can join us for what promises to be an engaging and informative evening, celebrating Hampshire's dairy herds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Use genetic evaluations to support breeding decisions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Define breeding goals that work for your business&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Compare parent average and genomic results with confidence&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use your herd genetic report to identify opportunities for improvement&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Put the latest genomic tools and indexes into practice on your farm&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
