The Beef Improvement Federation was formed as a means to standardize programs and methodologies, and to create greater awareness, acceptance and usage of performance concepts in beef production. The organization’s three-leaf clover logo would come to represent Industry, Extension and Research, just as the its annual symposium would become the industry’s premier forum bringing industry segments tog

ether to discuss and evaluate performance topics. To develop cooperation among all segments of the beef industry in the compilation and utilization of performance records to improve efficiency, profitability and sustainability of beef production.
