Beef Satellite Short Course 2008
Beefing Up the Bottom Line:
When a beef producer evaluates available feed resources, selects a herd sire, chooses an identification system, or uses herd records to improve the genetic potential of their cattle, their decisions influence the profitability of the outfit. And, whatever short- and long-term goals you have for your beef operation, we bet one of them is to improve your bottom line. Equip yourself with information that can help you make sound beef business decisions by attending this timely series. University of Nebraska–Lincoln faculty members address topics of current interest in a four part beef short course.
