Don't miss this UTBFC Live.Stock! Dave is one of my favorite people in the industry to talk cattle with. Glad Bruno & Katie were able to get him in the studio while he's in town for BIF.

Currently at the Beef Improvement Federation BeefImprovementFed in Knoxville, Tennessee! 🇺🇸 💯 looking forward to talking to producers, @NeogenCorp IntGeneticSolutions American Angus Association Vytelle and more !

We have officially kicked off the BeefImprovementFed symposium here at UT Institute of Agriculture . Wrapping up Young Producer Symposium with a panel/live taping of one of my favorite podcasts, Brands & Barbed Wire. Jim Johnson does such a great job helping others tell their ranch’s stories

That's interesting. Talk by Jared Decker suggesting cow surface area might be a better phenotype than body weight when thinking about efficiency. #BIF2024

That’s a wrap at BeefImprovementFed ! Thanks Troy Rowan and the BIF team for organizing the tours of leading beef and dairy operations!! 🧬 ✅ Thanks for hosting us University of Tennessee City of Knoxville 🇺🇸 #BIF2024 #beefimprovement #beefgenetics

New from our lab: Ruwaa has been working to optimize a 3' RNA-Seq approach for cost-effective molecular phenotyping in cattle. This work was funded by Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative and is a critical part of our toolbox for multiple ongoing projects. #phenotypeisking biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

With Harly Durbin Rowan traveling for the 4th we had to do our celebratory Beef. It's What's For Dinner. meal tonight. Tri-tip was this year’s cut of choice and boy did it deliver. Just an exceptional cut. Smoked and seared to perfection. Just reminds me that I should pen love letters to beef more often

Neglected to take pictures of the actual field day, but nothing like seeing cows lined up for the GreenFeed. These girls are a part of our lab’s ongoing Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) project looking for “molecular phenotypes” that might be indicators of forage-based efficiency.

New work from our lab led by Cassidy Catrett . She used total herd reporting data from American Simmental to explore the phenotypic and genetic relationships between multiple measures of heifer and cow fertility. academic.oup.com/jas/article/do…

VERY excited to announce a pre-print that represents the culmination of several years of work*: “On ARGs, pedigrees, and genetic relatedness matrices” doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… Led by Brieuc Lehmann with contributions from Hanbin Lee Luke Anderson-Trocmé Jerome Kelleher Peter Ralph

What a productive meeting at KALRO exploring collaboration opportunities in forage-livestock systems. #forage #beef

A fantastic day in Kajiado County exploring livestock production in Kenya. #forage #beef

Visiting Kapiti Ranch at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) was a great experience. Livestock production is fascinating no matter where you are in the world. #forage #beef #sheep #goat

Wrapping up the week in Kenya with an excellent workshop alongside ILRI, KALRO, and USDA/FAS! It’s been a rewarding experience learning about diverse livestock systems and forage production. #forage #beef

University of Tennessee professor, Troy Rowan, Yvette de Haas at Wageningen University, Prof Alison Van Eenennaam (@BioBeef) at UC Davis, Matthew Cleveland at ABS Global & Elly Navajas at INIA discuss the importance of genetics for low methane livestock. 🧬 🐄 🐂 2/2
