A bonus episode this week, with two giants in the US livestock industry, John Dawes and Dr Jim Gibb.

This is followed by Dr Jim Gibb, a world leading expert in cattle genomics in USA who gives a brief history of how genomics were developed into what we have today. Both having reviewed our book, The History of Aberdeen-Angus cattle in US, UK and Around the World, they give us their honest opinion of what the book means in a modern society.
