French beef cattle populations, which first appeared well fitted to the new requirements of intensive production systems and market demand are now, for most of them, widespread on all the continents. France being located at the meeting point of the main physical areas and human influences in Western Europe (oceanic, alpine, continental and mediterranean) its cattle industry is concerned with a wide variety of populations, environments and production systems. Further the early development of AI and reproduction control in France where the propor- tion of cows inseminated is among the highest in the world, chiefly in suckling herds, makes it easier to manage more efficient breeding programs in small holding farms.

    LIVESTOCK ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM FRESNO COUNTY 4-H BEEF CATTLE STUDY GUIDE LEVEL 1 & 2 PARTS OF THE MARKET STEER Level 1 & 2 WHOLESALE CUTS OF BEEF Level 2 RETAIL CUTS OF BEEF BREEDS OF BEEF CATTLE Level 1 & 2 The following breeds and their crosses are popular in our area: English Breeds Angus Hereford Shorthorn Continental Breeds Charolais Maine Anjou Simmental The Angus breed originated in the northeastern part of Scotland. When George Grant transported four Angus bulls from Scotland to the middle of the Kansas prairie in 1873, they made a lasting impression on the U.S. cattle industry. When two of the George Grant bulls were exhibited in the fall of 1873 at the Kansas City (Missouri) Livestock Exposition, some considered them "freaks" because of their polled (naturally hornless) heads and solid black color (Shorthorns were then the dominant breed). The first great herds of Angus beef cattle in America were built up by purchasing stock directly from Scotland. Twelve hundred cattle alone were imported, mostly to the Midwest, in a period of explosive growth between 1878 and 1883. Over the next quarter of a century these early owners, in turn, helped start other herds by breeding, showing, and selling their registered stock. Angus are known for fertility, calving ease, mothering ability, resistance to pink eye because of dark skin pigmentation, and propensity to marble (distribute fat within the meat) more than any other breed thus producing a high quality carcass. The Angus breed has the largest branded-beef program, Certified Angus Beef, in the world. Angus cattle are black but there is also a Red Angus breed.

The absence of genetic variation in the coding sequences of myostatin gene in the New Zealand cattlebreeds likely suggests one or more of the effects of selection pressure, cross-breeding and inbreeding and genetic drift.

  • Breeds of Beef and Multi-Purpose Cattle
    BREEDS OF BEEF AND MULTI-PURPOSE CATTLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The inspiration for writing this book goes back to my undergraduate student days at Iowa State University when I enrolled in the course, “Breeds of Livestock,” taught by the late Dr. Roy Kottman, who was then the Associate Dean of Agriculture for Undergraduate Instruction. I was also inspired by my livestock judging team coach, Professor James Kiser, who took us to many great livestock breeders’ farms for practice judging workouts. I also wish to acknowledge the late Dr. Ronald H. Nelson, former Chairman of the Department of Animal Science at Michigan State University. Dr. Nelson offered me an Instructorship position in 1957 to pursue an advanced degree as well as teach a number of undergraduate courses, including “Breeds of Livestock.” I enjoyed my work so much that I never left, and remained at Michigan State for my entire 47-year career in Animal Science. During this career, I had an opportunity to judge shows involving a significant number of the breeds of cattle reviewed in this book. I wish to acknowledge the various associations who invited me to judge their shows and become acquainted with their breeders. Furthermore, I want to express thanks to my spouse, Dr. Leah Cox Ritchie, for her patience while working on this book, and to Ms. Nancy Perkins for her expertise in typing the original manuscript. I also want to acknowledge the late Dr. Hilton Briggs, the author of the textbook, “Modern Breeds of Livestock.” I admired him greatly and was honored to become his close friend in the later years of his life.
