The Beef and Dairy Network podcast is brought to you by Darkness Dome, the new lunar blocker from

Mitchells. If it's not Mitchells, get back in the truck. We often hear concerns from consumers

about the safety of completely removing moonlight from their pasture. Rest assured, Darkness Dome is

100% safe for cattle, soil, staff, and most

known forms of life. The only documented risk is the intense psychological effect it may have on the

local moth population. A moth, deprived of moonlight, becomes confused. A confused moth becomes angry, and an angry moth should never be

underestimated. That's why every Darkness Dome installation comes with 50% off the MothVac

Pro, our new industrial grade moth vacuum, designed to humanely remove moths and compress

them into high-protein moth burgers,

perfect for feeding directly to your workforce.

And for a limited time, you can bump that discount up to 60% off your first MothVakPro,

plus receive a free Moth Smash Burger Patty Smasher simply by using the code

upon darkened wing, my burgers sing.

Hello and welcome to the Beef and Dairy Network podcast, the number one podcast for those involved,

or just interested, in the production of beef animals and dairy herds. The Beef and Dairy Network

podcast is the podcast companion to the Beef and Dairy Network website, as well as the printed

magazine brought to you by Mitchell's Darkness Dome. Now, as we reach the end of the year,

it's time to look back and if 2025 is to be remembered for anything, as we reach the end of the year, it's time to look back, and if 2025 is to

be remembered for anything, it will be the sheer number of new breeds of cattle that have been

developed and have come to market. And so I'll be going through some of my favourite, along with a few

guests who will give their own take on what's exciting them in the world of cattle breeds.

So, I'm joined by Alan Boucher, the editor of the magazine Beef Week.
