Excellent Calf Production in Gokseong Through Improvement of Production Capacity

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 27th, Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, announced that it held the launch ceremony of the Hanwoo Calf Brand Project and an electronic auction event at the Gokseong Hanwoo Auction Market.

The selection of the Hanwoo calf brand refers to a system where high-performance semen is supplied to excellent cows registered with pedigree at the Gokseong Livestock Cooperative and the Korea Animal Improvement Association to produce calves, which are then supplied through the Hanwoo auction market after parentage verification.

The project is promoted with detailed components such as livestock improvement (linear evaluation, performance test), computerized database construction, genetic testing, supply of high-performance semen, and brand management.

On this day, 36 calves that went through a thorough branded calf system were exhibited at the Hanwoo Calf Brand electronic auction market.

Among them, the top calf was traded at the highest price of 6 million won, and the launch ceremony was filled with interest and enthusiasm from those involved in the livestock industry.

A county official said, “We will do our best to establish ourselves as a representative Hanwoo brand of Korea through the Hanwoo improvement project and fostering breeding farms.”
