Adding to Beef's Positive Story

The American Hereford Association has a longstanding history of progressive research aimed at characterizing genetics associated with production efficiency, which plays a key role in environmental and economic sustainability. The next logical step is a cooperative research project with Colorado State University to identify genetic traits that influence environmental emissions from individual animals and then develop selection indices that can be used to reduce the environmental impact of cattle, while maintaining, and ideally improving economic returns to producers.

Fill out the form below to reserve a spot for the webinar on July 12 at 7 p.m. CDT to hear from the team members conducting the project. The webinar will summarize current understanding of the role U.S. beef cattle play in domestic and global greenhouse emissions, and will provide more detail about specific beef cattle traits associated with GHG emissions, their heritability and potential use in selection tools to reduce the beef cattle industry’s carbon footprint.
