Abstract

"The Missouri Beef Cattle Performance Testing Program helps producers improve both quality and growth rate of their herds through breeding and selection. The primary objective of the Missouri Program is to provide education and information to both purebred and commercial producers so they can increase their economic returns. Area and state livestock specialists direct major efforts toward creating awareness of research technology, demonstrating the value of records of performance and adopting improved selection procedures. Missouri beef cattle improvement programs are designed to change the genetic base or gene frequency of economic traits of beef cattle in order to yield a more desirable product for the consumer. This in turn yields producers a higher return which helps improve their standard of living and provides capital with which to upgrade their operation."--from page 1
