NuEra Genetics: A New Era in Beef Genetic Improvement 

Beef is finding its way to consumers’ dinner tables more frequently, so the demand for high-quality beef is growing around the world as a key animal protein source. Thus, the beef supply chain is searching for a consistent supply of healthy, predictable, and profitable animals to fill feedyards and processors.  

But, why does this impact you as producers?  

The beef supply chain compensates producers based on the profitable performance of the animal created—regardless of if you are a dairy selling beef cross calves or a beef producer. Producing high-quality animals that perform consistently is key to your profitable and sustainable future. 

How can ABS Global help? 

Genetics plays an important role in every system, from producer to processor, in creating valuable animals for the beef supply chain. Thus, coupling a custom-fit genetic plan with climate-smart beef genetics specifically designed to meet your goals is key to ensuring you get the value created with these high-quality animals. And this is where ABS can help you reach your goals.
