Commercial Cow/Calf

In addition to our purebred Angus herd, the Center maintains a crossbred Simmental x Angus herd, which purpose is to provide high performance cattle with balanced traits used for teaching students, research projects, and outreach events.  This herd provides students with an example of using complimentary breeds in a progressive two-breed rotational cross system.  Similar to the Angus breeding program, emphasis is placed on traits of economic importance including reproduction, growth, and carcass traits.

Have ideas on how we can make the MSU Beef Center even better?
