Welcome to the Beef Cattle Institute Website! The Beef Cattle Institute was founded August 1, 2007. The initial funding for this program was awarded by the Targeted Excellence Initiative at Kansas State University. The purpose of the Beef Cattle Institute is to create a collaborative environment at Kansas State University to tackle today's and tomorrow’s issues facing the beef industry through education, research and outreach.

This institute will enhance the education and the value of the degrees of KSU students, increase information access and training opportunities for people working in the beef industry today through research and practical engagement, and improve the cultural and intellectual diversity of our student body. The goal of the Beef Cattle Institute is to provide beef producers with the most current education, research and outreach available.
