Abstract

The purpose of cattle improvement is to increase profits. Through selective breeding, cattlemen can produce more beef per cow, step up the efficiency of their herds, and improve the selling price of their cattle. Improvement in any of these will increase profits. If all are raised together, even more profit may result.
