By Drovers news source  |  Wednesday, January 07, 2009

University of Nebraska animal science professor Ivan Rush is retiring after 35 years of service to the beef cattle industry. A tribute included in the UNL Animal Science Department’s 2009 Beef Research Reports notes that for many cattlemen in Nebraska and beyond, when UNL is mentioned, Rush is the person who comes to mind. The article cites his “reputation for knowledge based both on soundly designed experiments and the wisdom of practical experience with cattle.” Rush is credited with contributing to the development of computer programs that calculate rations, with organizing multiple Range Beef Cow Symposia, with guiding the evolution of IRM both in Nebraska and nationally, with sincere dedication to the beef industry and for always rooting his advice in factual information.
