NuEra Genetics®
The beef supply chain is searching for a consistent supply of healthy, predictable, and profitable animals because the demand for high-quality beef is growing as a key animal protein source. Beef finds its way to consumers’ plates more frequently today.
How does this impact you as a producer?
You get paid based on the performance of the animals you create—regardless of whether you are a dairy selling beef cross calves or a beef producer. The beef supply chain wants to fill feedyards and plants with profitable and sustainable animals. Thus, producing high-quality animals that perform consistently is key to your success.

From the producer to the processor, genetics are a key factor in producing valuable animals for the beef supply chain. Thus, coupling a custom-fit genetic plan with climate-smart beef genetics specifically designed to meet your goals is key to ensuring you get the value created with these high-quality animals. This is where ABS can support you in achieving your goals.
