A terminal sire is typically used in a commercial breeding program. This is a breeding program where the offspring of the sire will generally be slaughtered for meat. As a rule, a terminal sire’s primary use is to produce good quality market animals.
Terminal sires are used but they are rarely, if ever, used to produce replacements or breeding animals. In a terminal sire breeding system, breeding and replacements animals are often bought in.
In this episode we explore the terminal approach in more detail.
