-
Expanded working relationships among farmers, regional livestock specialists and veterinarians that will enhance information exchange and improve management of cow herds across Missouri.
-
Improved heifer development programs through a Total Quality Management approach.
-
Increased marketing opportunities for and added value for Missouri-raised heifers.
-
Creation of reliable sources of quality replacement heifers in terms of genetics and management.
