    A career in the trenches: Feedlot, quality control, risk management, broker, manager, breed CEO

    Mark Anderson is the CEO of the North American Limousin Foundation, but his path to breed association leadership is a revers path to many. His young career in meat packing, feedlot management, brokering feeders, and risk management offers a unique perspective to how the industry makes genetics “work” in other segments of the beef supply chain.

    Genetic Defects: A Bull Good Enough to Use Twice

    The beef industry has done a tremendous job of advancing the science of genomics and DNA testing in the last decade. Maybe we’ve fallen a bit short on explaining to everyone in the industry what they should do if they encounter an odd phenotype on their own farm. Dr. Jessica Peterson, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, offers a detailed tutorial on exactly what producers should do, and what happens in the process from the initial stage clear through the release of a commercialized test. ---------------------------------------------------   Connect with us: @iowabeefcenter https://facebook.com/IowaBeefCenter https://instagram.com/iowabeefcenter  https://twitter.com/iowabeefcenter ---------------------------------------------------   Helpful links: Iowa Beef Center - https://www.iowabeefcenter.org  Iowa State University Extension and Outreach - https://www.extension.iastate.edu

    Solving the Farm Labor Crisis with an Ear Tag

    Beef prices are good. Expansion should be happening. Unfortunately, many producers are simply maxed out on what they can get done in a day. The 701X platform is a fence checker, heat checker, health checker, calving notifier, and an office secretary all at the same time. Chip Kemp describes the breadth of services offered by an ear tag…and we’re just getting started!

    Genetic Technology: More Than Bull Sale Catalog Info

    The industry has geeked out on genetics and genomics for seedstock operations for some time now…particularly on bulls.
