The Kentucky Beef Book

The Kentucky Beef Book

The Kentucky Beef Book

Published on Feb. 1, 2021

Cattlemen in Kentucky have an opportunity to participate in the most rigorous educational programming in the United States. These programs include Master Cattleman, Master Stocker, Master Grazer, Master Marketer, Applied Master Cattleman, Cow College, Beef Quality Assurance, Cattle Handling and Care, Pasture to Plate, and the Integrated Reproductive Management Program. These educational programs are developed and delivered by the Beef Extension Specialists at the University of Kentucky in partnership with the Kentucky Beef Network and funded by the Agriculture Development Board and the Governor’s Office of Agriculture Policy.

This reference book was written by specialists in beef nutrition, beef cattle breeding, beef reproduction, forages, veterinary science, and production economics. The goal is to use this book as to supplement our educational programs and to help Kentucky’s beef producers realize greater profits from their beef enterprise regardless of the size of the operation or the expertise of the producer.
