While the culture that surrounds ranching has captured the hearts and minds of people from around the world, at its base ranching has always been about providing food and fiber – especially beef – for a growing population. Modern ranchers depend on specially developed genetics, production techniques and data to produce beef. The story of beef cattle breeds in the United States is an interesting one, cast with many characters. Production, grains, processing, technology and marketing have all driven the industry to where we are today – an industry that provides high-quality protein for millions of consumers around the world.
