Abstract:
The Missouri beef cattle improvement programs are available to beef cattle breeders who may use them to check each animal's performance from birth until it is added to a herd or slaughtered. These programs have flexibility and will be helpful to both purebred and commercial cattlemen in their selection and breeding of animals. They are most useful in evaluating individual animals within a herd. They are not designed for the purpose of comparing one breed with another breed or one herd with another herd, because the environmental conditions will vary from farm to farm.
