Beef Improvement Federation Annual Conference
Coming to Calgary Next Summer
June 29 to July 3rd, 2008
Over 68 years ago, the true pioneers of the performance beef cattle movement
began the research which led to the use of objective measurements for
evaluating beef cattle. Selection based on objective measures has withstood
the test of time and continues to undergo scrutiny by researchers,
organizations and the ultimate judge, beef cattle producers.
As a means to standardize programs and methodology and to create greater
awareness, acceptance and useage of beef cattle performance concepts, the
Beef Improvement Federation was formed. The organization's three leaf clover
logo would come to represent Industry, Extension and Research and to early
pioneers of BIF, represented then, in the twilight of the 20th century.
