We had the honor of hosting the 2024 BeefImprovementFed Symposium in Knoxville this week. We had 500 folks from all over the world on the UT Institute of Agriculture campus and around our state talking about how we can make our industry more efficient, profitable, and sustainable through genetics.

Another year, another great start for our Graduate Student Kickoff! Welcome students! #ANSCGrad24 Herbert College of Agriculture UT AgResearch UT Extension UT Institute of Agriculture
