LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION HAS FLURISHED BECAUSE OF

SELECTIVE BREEDING- -BREEDING THE BEST ANIMALS TO INCREASE DESIREABLE CHARACTERISTICS IN THE OFFSPRINGSlide12

Selective Breeding

-has given rise to livestock judgingWhy is livestock judging important?It helps people identify desirable characteristics

Evaluating a class of animals and placing them in order from best to worst

It’s important to use proper terminology when giving reasons Slide13

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION IN THE U.S.?Slide14

SHEEP

Sheep were domesticated about 8,000 years agoThey are raised for meat and woolThere are over 200 breeds of domestic sheepThe management of sheep is more complex than the management of most animalsSlide17

Today,

chicken production is a large commercial industry

that continues to grow as demand increases around the worldSlide20

HOW HAVE LIVESTOCK CONSUMPTION TRENDS CHANGED?Slide21

Turkey Consumption Trends

Turkey consumption has increased from 6.71 pounds to 14 pounds per person per year.Slide26

Consumption Trends

The increase in the consumption of poultry and the decrease in the consumption of beef can be explained by new health concerns such as high cholesterolSlide27
