BEEFMASTERS LARGEST BULL TEST & SALES TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY and BEEFMASTER BREED JOIN FORCES Jeralyn Novak | August 13, 2019
BOERNE, Texas – Texas A&M University (TAMU) in College Station, Texas is making a change in direction for their beef cattle herd. They have made the decision to upgrade with two new breeds, Beefmaster and Red Angus. Beefmaster Breeders United has been working with TAMU leadership since the fall of 2018 on this project. This partnership demonstrates that Beefmaster cattle are being recognized for outstanding maternal traits, growth, efficiency and adaptability not just in Texas, but globally. “There are multiple reasons why we decided to initiate a herd with Beefmasters,” said TAMU Animal Science Department Head Dr. Cliff Lamb. “Globally, about 70% of the world’s beef cattle are in tropical or sub-tropical regions. It is certainly a reason to have a breed that is associated with the ability to adapt to those climates.”
Dr. Lamb is determined to make the Texas A&M Beef Center a highlight for the Animal Science Department. Lamb and his team would like to create the best possible cow herd for teaching, research and demonstrations, as well as be a place for visitors and international guests. “We made a decision early on that we were going to establish a reputable Beefmaster herd, along with a Bos taurus based breed, so we could use this as front door to our department,” Dr. Lamb stated. “The Beefmaster cattle are going to be at our Beef Center and we are going to utilize those Beefmasters to not only teach classes and educate producers, but we are also going to utilize that herd to do some cutting edge research that will have a positive impact on not only livestock producers in Texas, but around the world,” stated Lamb. According to Lamb, the Beefmaster females in their herd will be of high-genetic merit and with these animals they will investigate some fundamental research associated with reproduction, genetics and carcass-based traits. The department’s goal is to be able to identify things that they can take into their other larger cattle herds that belong to the department and utilize those ideas they developed, then further expand those technologies on a larger scale somewhere else. Ultimately, distributing that information out to livestock producers. “We certainly are excited about this and we certainly value what the Beefmaster breed is doing in terms of helping us get this herd established,” said Lamb.

About the Test All bulls are delivered post weaning to a central test station. After acclimation they are tested in the GrowSafe, LLC for 55 days to measure Feed Efficiency. This system monitors each pound of feed the animal eats and weighs the animal when he goes to drink water, resulting in very accurate feed to gain data. Following the test all bulls were then culled on disposition, feet, legs, growth and quality.
After yearling weights, ultrasound and scrotal measurements are recorded the bulls were then moved to bigger pasture where they were turned out on grass traps. After being on grass we give each bull his own Fleshing Ability score. This will reflect his ability to hold his condition on grass. These big pastures and supplemental feed have been the backbone of our success.
We continually strive to be on the cutting edge of technology. Don’t buy a breed...invest in a PROGRAM. Make sure your next bull is wearing the Performance brand. We offer the most complete performance information in the breed!
