National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium

The University of Kentucky will provide the coordination of educational activities associated with the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium. These activities will focus on improving the understanding of beef cattle genetics among Extension professionals and university educators. Resources will be developed and distributed to enhance the educational efforts of these educators. Additionally, direct educational programs will be developed for beef producers that will allow for interactions between these producers and the scientific community. These activities will allow for a two way flow of information making the producers better aware of the latest selection tools and improving the scientists' awareness of the needs of producers.
