Welcome to the Montana Beef Network
The Montana Beef Network (MBN) has been designed to assist Montana livestock producers in receiving added value for their cattle. This is accomplished by identifying cattle that meet specific beef quality and consistency targets.
The foundation of the network is data collection and information exchange. Through a collaborative effort between Montana State University and the Montana Stockgrowers Association, the MBN has three main goals:
- Beef Quality Assurance Certification (BQA),
- Feeder Calf Certification, and
- Return of feedlot and carcass data to producers.
