David Patterson, professor of animal sciences, was the special guest speaker at the college's Monticello Society Brunch April 28. His research in beef reproduction and genomics laid the ground work for the Missouri Show-Me Select Replacement Heifer Program. His presentation highlighted the program’s success and economic impact on Missouri’s economy, which has exceeded $150 million over the last 20 years.
