Welcome

Welcome to our newly redesigned Web site! We hope this provides easier access to all of our information and resources.

The Iowa Beef Center at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, serves as the university's extension program to cattle producers. Our center is comprised of a dedicated group of faculty and staff from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Veterinary Medicine and Iowa State University Extension. We work together to develop and deliver the latest in research-based information to improve the profitability and vitality of Iowa's beef industry.

At the Iowa Beef Center, we strive to be the No. 1 source "For all things beef."
