Artificial Intelligence Gains Ground in the Beef Industry

NCBA highlights how artificial intelligence is helping producers improve efficiency and decision-making.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (RFD News) — Artificial intelligence is becoming a bigger part of agriculture, with cattle producers exploring how the technology can improve efficiency and decision-making on their operations.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association recently took us inside a Cattlemen’s College session, where industry leaders discussed how AI can improve genetics, analyze data and support management decisions.

Speakers said adoption in the beef industry is still in its early stages, but operations of any size can use AI to solve everyday challenges. They expect adoption to continue growing as more producers see practical applications for the technology.
