240+ steers, heifers, and bulls weighed this morning. Now fresh feed and continued feed intake & methane measurements. We aim to identify animals who are efficient at converting feed into body weight gain, gain well, while also emitting less methane

Our partners at @csuagnext want to understand the viability of possible methane reduction strategies from the perspective of those in the beef and dairy industries in Colorado! Take the survey by February 16 and share it with other farmers and ranchers: colostate.az1.qualtrics.com/…

“We have to eat, it’s not optional… We shouldn’t just reduce (animals) without paying attention to the rest of the picture.” - @drsplace from @CSUAgNext during the @GRSBeef session on calculating global #GHG emissions from livestock. 🐮♻️🥩

More than three months since the first case of H5N1 in dairy cattle was confirmed in Texas, we’re starting to understand a little bit more about the disease. Read more from @miquelaleehans1 and @csuagnext’s Dr. Jason Lombard in @HoardsDairyman. hoards.com/article-35329-wha…

Dr Sara Place of @CSUAgNext shared with producers that 86% of livestock feed globally is not human edible, but the net protein quality of beef is 2.66x the amount of plant protein used to produce it. Cattle are the ultimate upcyclers! #wearebeef #cdnbeedconf

Globally, 11% of greenhouse gas emissions come from livestock production, the majority of which is from cattle. The majority of US GHG emissions result from energy. Dr Sara Place #CDNBeefConf
