###### History of the Missouri Beef Initiative In early 2015, Governor Nixon convened the Missouri Beef Summit in Columbia to maximize the potential of Missouri’s beef industry and help move the state’s rural economy forward, while at the same time protecting land, air and water resources.
The summit brought together large and small-scale beef producers with agricultural leaders and experts to discuss how to grow and improve the herd in Missouri, how to help producers increase the value of the industry by keeping more cattle in-state for finishing, and how to better market Missouri beef for its high quality for both foreign and domestic consumption.
Missouri universities are conducting research regarding the economic benefits of an 80-head covered feeding facility. The research must compare beef production in covered feeding facilities to open feeding areas, linking outcomes that can be applied to management practices in beef production.
Researchers are investigating an integrated approach to enhance beef production in Missouri including, but not limited to, improving animal efficiency, improve post-weaning growth, improve health diagnostics, and improve forage production for the focused purpose of improving the profitability of beef production.
