  • Strategies to Impact Feed Efficiency (2012 National Cattlemen's College Presentations)
    Hear about the need for improved feed efficiency in the beef industry, including insight into benchmark data showing the current status of feedlot close-out data. The role of  genomics in the genetic improvement of this complex trait will be discussed. The session will highlight the large national effort underway to develop genomic selection and management tools to improve feed efficiency in beef cattle.
