Abstract

The Cow-Calf sector of the beef industry has undergone a period of increasing intensification and tremendous changes in productivity over the past 25 years. Improved technology, new production systems and changing economics have driven the Cow-Calf sector to higher and higher production levels. In this presentation I will lay out the underlying reasons for this increased production and intensification and why it will continue in the future.
