The beef business will face several troubling issues in the coming years.

Technology in agriculture has made leaps and bounds in the last several years.

One of the latest developments in beef cattle breeding is the use of genomic testing results in animal selection and mating decisions.

Genomics is the study of organism genomes that includes mapping DNA sequences.

Dr. Michael Smith from University of Missouri explains reproductive tract scores and A.I. semen.

With national beef cattle inventory at lows not seen since the 1950s, the time could be right for producers of Brahman-influenced cattle to adopt a fixed-time artificial insemination method which could add thousands of dollars in net value to a calf crop, according to researchers.

It seems that each new day brings some new technology that is either going to revolutionize our industry or at least make our work easier.
