Breeding beef bulls with dairy cows to produce calves better suited for beef production has grown in popularity in recent years. Since 2016, the number of beef-on-dairy calves in the United States has increased from about 2.5 million to around 5 million. Dr. Charlie Martinez with UTIA is addressing beef-on-dairy production at the USDA’s 102nd Annual Agricultural Outlook Forum, as well as the need for improved methods to track these cattle for market purposes.
