Iowa State University researchers outline advances for the 1980s in beef production. The SR 79 booklet covers breeding and reproduction, cow calf enterprises, feeding market cattle, confinement systems, growth and development, and product quality. It notes dairy-beef crosses, induced twinning, use of crop residues, and improved forage cultivars as paths to higher lean muscle, better feed use, and reduced waste and pollution. The Iowa cattle industry remains a major national supplier, with about 4 million cattle and calves marketed annually.
