Integrity Beef

The Integrity Beef program was first introduced to a few progressive cow-calf producers in 2000. It serves as an example of an integrated effort to apply state-of-the-art technology and best management practices of the cattle industry to produce a more consistent, high quality product. Today, this program is a producer-led program with Noble Research Institute serving as a consultant to the program.
