How UBIA Supports Producers
Performance Bull Testing
Our annual bull test provides objective data that helps producers compare bulls within breed and across programs. This allows buyers to select cattle based on more than just appearance and gives breeders a fair, consistent way to evaluate their genetics.
Industry collaboration
UBIA brings together producers, university partners, and industry leaders to strengthen beef production in Utah and the Intermountain West. By working together, we help move the entire industry forward.
PRoducer education
UBIA supports educational programs that connect cattlemen with practical research and proven management practices. From field days to workshops and industry events, we focus on information that can be applied back home on the ranch.
THE UTAH BEEF IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION was formed by cattlemen who believed better genetics build better herds.
Since the early 1970s, UBIA has worked to support commercial and seedstock producers by promoting data-driven breeding decisions and practical education.
