The Refreshing Face of Beef Research

The updated site contains a library of research fact sheets, project summaries, executive summaries, etc., and features a user-friendly filter process to ease the visitor’s ability to find the right information. Now, the viewer can go to the program area of interest, then filter by topic, type and date. With hundreds of research items, this functionality makes for a much-improved website experience. An added feature for those on the move is accessibility from all mobile devices -- laptopos, tablets and smartphones.
