From heavier cattle not translating to higher red meat yields, to the critical gaps in how we measure carcass value, this episode reveals how the right data can transform not just pricing—but profitability.As always, you’ll find additional resources and tools at TheFutureofBeef.com, including a 6-month free trial of the award-winning Breedr app.What you will learn in this episode:1️⃣ Why current yield assessments are "grossly inaccurate" and hurting producers.2️⃣ How fatter cattle don't always mean more red meat—and what that means for the bottom line.3️⃣ The role of advanced imaging and data in creating a more equitable beef supply chain.Links:🌐 Visit the show page at www.thefutureofbeef.com🔬 Learn more about Dr. Woerner’s research at Texas Tech📱 Explore the award-winning Breedr App at www.breedr.co💻 Connect with Drovers: www.drovers.com
