The Digest

Conference science, written for the farmgate

After every British Cattle Conference the Club publishes its Digest: the papers and talks from the conference written up in clear, practical language. The Digest has appeared every year since the Club's earliest conferences, and together they form one of the most complete plain-language records of cattle breeding science anywhere.
