Students will develop skills related to beef cattle genetics, including sire and replacement heifer selection, heifer development and appropriate culling techniques to maximize efficiency and gross margin. They will also learn mapping tools and apply these to forage production and carrying capacity calculations over large areas. Various emerging agriculture technologies will be introduced, along with their potential value under various regenerative ranching systems. Note: Individual courses may be taken by non-program students where capacity exists and with instructor permission.
