Over 68 years ago, the true pioneers of the performance beef cattle movement began the research which led to the use of objective measurements for evaluating beef cattle. Selection based on objective measures has withstood the test of time and continues to undergo scrutiny by researchers, organizations and the ultimate judge, beef cattle producers.

As a means to standardize programs and methodology and to create greater awareness, acceptance and useage of beef cattle performance concepts, the Beef Improvement Federation was formed. The organization's three leaf clover logo would come to represent Industry, Extension and Research and to early pioneers of BIF, represented then, in the twilight of the 20th century.

For more information on the Beef Improvement Federation, or to become a member, contact Twig Marston, Director.
