Nebraska is the global epicenter for beef production. That’s why it makes sense that Nebraska Extension has a team devoted solely to supporting every step of the beef industry—from pasture management to nutrition, from disease prevention to developing innovative cuts of beef. Backed by University research and resources, Nebraska Extension partners with cow-calf producers, backgrounding operations, feedlots and processors to help create a robust Nebraska beef industry that consistently produces high-quality beef safely, responsibly and profitably.

Barry grew up outside of Friend on a farm with crops and cattle before he attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to study Animal Science. He returned to UNL to complete a master’s degree in Ruminant Nutrition. After working with a few different companies and having traveled around the country visiting all types of cattle operations, Barry is happy to have landed back in southeast Nebraska.
