What if genetic selections could be made to produce cattle that are better for your bottom line and the environment? Consider the possibility of an enteric methane emissions EPD and the impact it could have on future profitability, marketability and sustainability.
Burping steers are helping researchers at Colorado State solve the climate crisis
Beef-production giant Cargill recently gave CSU $1 million to study how diet affects the amount of global-warming methane the steers at their facility belch into the air. Both cattle and researchers are happy with how it’s going.
