    The Making of Beefmaster: 90 Years of Purpose-Driven Breeding

    In this episode, Lorenzo Lasseter discusses the origins and future of the Beefmaster breed. Developed in South Texas and officially founded in 1937, Beefmasters were built as a three-way cross focused on economic efficiency through the “Six Essentials”: fertility, weight, conformation, hardiness, milk production, and disposition. Lasseter highlights the breed’s balanced, stabilized hybrid design, recent USDA research validating its performance, growing international demand, and the opportunity to expand its role in the U.S. commercial cattle industry as the next generation continues the family legacy.
